Sharing WiFi Security

Discodog · 2025-09-08 08:55:28

A friend of mine is sharing wifi with her landlord. It's his wifi & internet. Is there any risk to this ? Would the landlord be able to view or know what she is accessing ?

Depending on the router there can be some high level knowledge with genuine products, like I know how much YouTube usage there is on my network.
Really it's the same risk as a man in the middle attack except there is no man in the middle as an extreme example.
You can research that to see the issues.
But I'd be surprised if that's what was happening.
