The most crucial step is to secure your WiFi network. Even if you're no longer with that cable company, anyone with the information in the installer contract could potentially access your network. The cable company's installer sharing your WiFi information with others is a serious breach of privacy. Contact the cable company's customer service: Explain the situation and file a formal complaint about the installer's actions. Ask for the company to investigate the incident and take appropriate action to ensure such a breach doesn't happen again. In some cases, depending on the severity of the issue and the laws in your area, you might want to consider legal action. Consulting a lawyer specializing in privacy law can help you understand your options here. I would recomend paying for a premium consultation with an attorney you trust that specialize in breach of privacy matters like myself to figure out all your options and to see if there is a financial benefit that may be able to reap from this breach of privacy incident. Looking forward to hearing from you, Good Luck.
