Piggybacking
Piggybacking on Internet access is the practice of establishing a wireless Internet connection by using another subscriber's wireless Internet access service without the subscriber's explicit permission or knowledge.
i.e
They can obtain internet service by reception from someone else's computer. 
Just to clarify, when a person sets up a wireless router, they have the option to leave the signal open or set it up securely and require a password. Evidently some people aren't all that concerned with security or they don't know how to set it up correctly, and leave their connection open where others can then log on and use their signal.
