I have a quick question concerning wireless network security.
I have a wireless router and the only thing using the router is a laptop computer. This evening, I went to amazon.com. The webpage showed that an unknown person had logged into amazon using my laptop. The problem is, absolutely no one had physically accessed my laptop. I was under the impression that sites such as amazon used cookies to track who logged into their site.
I am a newbie when it comes to wireless networking. Is there a possibility that someone has accessed my wireless network to access amazon (and who knows what else)? Like I said, I was under the assumption that Amazon tracked returning customers by using cookies and not by using IP addresses. Or could this have just been a screwup on Amazon's end?
Thanks.
