Other than people using my bandwidth, is there any danger to making a WiFi hotspot unsecured or with an easy-to-guess password?
Post Body

In other words, is there any sort of easy hack that people could use to get information or install malicious software on my phone that would be blocked if they couldn't get my password? I have a rooted galaxy nexus running basic jellybean.

I have an unlimited data plan, so I'm not worried about usage charges, and I realize I could be slowed down but I don't see that being a major issue.
