Would you care to elaborate what those risks are? The internet is rather bigger than the WiFi network you connect to.
Do I need to explain risks using foreign local networks in HN ? I see it quite unfair to get a downvote for this.

#32Is it possible to set up a trap where someone who inputs a leaked password will be automatically blocked or put on a naughty list? If you owned a coffeeshop, you would want your Wi-Fi users to be for customers only.

#34To use this you have to stand outside a restaurant / lounge and hope to acquire the weak signal (and hope the password hasn't changed). Why not just buy a coffee and you get to sit down and a have better signal.

If you wanted your Wi-Fi to be for customers only then you'd use WPA2 Enterprise with unique per-user passwords, or at least change the static password every day.

You might want your WiFi to be for customers only, but not have any idea how or enough money to enforce it.
Changing the password everyday is an acceptable compromise.

I might want a pet unicorn too, then what? Changing the password everyday is an acceptable compromise.

#39Any wifi other than yours, or your company's is huge security risk. I would not trust a second for a service like this.

#40I think its Computer crime in germany if you login to a locked wifi for what you did not get password from the owner.
