    Hello,

    If the shared password is a password created on the spot for the access point, I don't think it's particularly dangerous.

    Hi

    here is a risk, not necessarily related to a virus, not necessarily reserved for minors this risk:

    Sharing your connection is already accessing a device, a barrier crossed in security protections, which requires an agreement. The sharing of connection is only done between ourselves from one device to another or from one folder to another.

    Giving access to information behind this barrier, and access to security flaws.

    The keys to the house, the signature at the bank, the right to change the codes and impersonate the owner,

    the ability to deny access to the former owner.

    Possibility to install a "program" that will then allow entry and exit without the code.

      Hello,

      the question is about tethering, not files.
