Reaction

I didn't know that personal information could be stolen by wireless connections. It's a very useful title, but I don't think this article is good. Body sentences are totally seperate from the title. If you see the title, as you know, you may expect the way to avoid crimes in which your information is stolen via wireless technology. I'm sure you didn't get the information, because the article just mentions how the crime is performed and how dangerous it is. If the author just wants to write about crimes, he has to change the title.
I can't believe that personal information is stolen even by wireless connections. I don't think I can believe in IT, even if it is convenient. After developing the computer, it is true that our life is much more convenient compared to before. We don't have to go to the bank, shopping, and so on by ourselves, because computer can do almost everything we have to do more conveniently, but it also causes other problems. Problems are that crimes using computers have increased and our personal information is not safe anymore. Protecting our information strongly has to be made as soon as possible, and also people shouldn't trust the compuer totally, and have to be careful not to have thier information stolen.
