most likely they are … no real risk involved if you don’t want them to use it you can enable encryption and it will make them enter a key.. you can also access your router and see who is using it
Usually no big deal for a residential setting but it is a risk nonetheless. Turn on WEP is enough to throw a wrench into their leeching.
