/g/ I've had some unusual wifi activity lately and people logging into all kinds of accounts of mine
Today I noticed another network titled exactly like mine, but without a password. I suspect this is an asshole hoping my devices will connect to this so he can leach/steal etc. I'm not techy at all so is this a thing? Can scammers steal my info if I simply log onto their network?
For the record I usually have good passwords, all security features on etc etc. I use AVAST, malwarebytes (Scheduled scan only), Spybot and Peerblock and I don't fall for phishing scams so I'm trying to figure out what these assholes are up to since nothing seems to have happened other than prime asshole activity
Also if this is just an asshole, can I connect to his network and fuck with him? How do I confirm who/where he is physically? Is that even possible?
Please /g/, think of the possibilities
Yeh there is a good chance that that wifi is there so you will connect to it and he can get your info. Best bet is to just ignore it or confront him.

Also change passwords
They can monitor or spoof data.
I recommend that you cease and desist using Internet and start living in the countryside

already done, any other advice? is it possible to narrow down an address? How do I collect info if I let's say connect a laptop with none of my own info on it
Stop accepting untrusted certificates

You could try to find a program that will find the location of the wifi but i would personally just block and ignore it. If you are serious then you could get the ip and report it.

Take the shielding off a microwave, run.an extension cord out to the street, and let it run for a few hours. Maybe set up an array of them on dish reflectors. Ymmv

Change your passwords, only use https, don't skip the warnings about your unprivate connection.
You could potentiality fuck with whoever this is if they have anything connected to that access point. However, since you're asking this question, I dont think you specifically could do much.

I live in an apartment complex, how do I figure out exactly who he is? I'll just tell him to stop.

I have 0 experience in this area. As far as I knew avast/spybot, not clicking stupid links and falling for dumb emails, and using a large variety of strong passwords would protect me (Plus 2 step verification). I was wrong. I have no clue what this guy has. The extent of my abilities here is building a PC, but I don't browse tech forums/threads at all and I don't stay current.
