There is a computer logged on to my network, when I attempt to explore the IP, it asks for a user name and password. Mine don't work. Can a person hack into my neighbors computer and then access my wifi assuming they have already hacked my VPN? This foreign computer on my network has me concerned. I have seen it on my computer before and chalked it up to the neighbor but now I wonder how it is accessed when the wireless is secure.

When a military base in washington state had the identities of 30 of its employees stolen...it was done by someone who physically stole a computer from the base. Talk about bad network security.
