Should I be worried about WI-FI jammers?

These days, WIFI is ubiquitous, being used in security cameras, security systems, smart locks, and a majority of smart devices that rely on WIFI or other wireless technologies for connectivity. With the increasing affordability of technology, there is a rise in the availability of devices that can interfere with our wireless technology. WIFI jammers or signal disruptors operate by interrupting the current wireless signal to the extent that the receiving device is unable to properly interpret the incoming data, resulting in a signal loss.

With the advancement of technology, signal jammers are relatively affordable and can be purchased with the option to block Bluetooth, WI-FI, and even Cellular.

According to an article published by Helen Jeong from NBC News, she writes "Amid an uptick in residential burglaries by more “sophisticated criminals” in the San Gabriel Valley area, La Cañada Flintridge officials increased law enforcement patrols and began taking steps to stem crimes relying on new technology, the city announced Tuesday.

City officials began noticing criminals were using Wi-Fi blocking devices to bypass security systems so they do not alert homeowners even when break-ins take place."

One of the main issues with signal jammers is that it may not even be a potential burglar, but your neighbor who wants a little privacy causing a disruption to your wireless devices.
