So I'm learning about cable networks but from my current understanding everyone in a given area is serviced by the same cable network and any message that enters the network will be sent to everyone.
So this would mean surely that anyone on this network could spy on all traffic occurring on that particular cable network and see all un-encrypted data... Surely this is a huge problem - I know the cable modem will filter this out but that won't stop someone using a cracked modem such as the ones used for uncapping. I'm sure I must have misunderstood something, does anyone know what I'm missing here?
