An MBA graduate who broke the basic rule of cyber safety and shared his password with a stranger was rewarded by a visit from the police after his Internet connection was used to harass a young couple in his society.

This paper’s front-page report yesterday highlighted how he was blamed after his Wi-Fi network was used to harass the couple by creating fake Facebook profiles for them and uploading pornographic material there. When the police questioned him, the man realised he had disclosed his password to his neighbour’s visitor. He suspected the stranger might be responsible for the crime, but with no way to prove his innocence, he was charged instead.
