9.Every day,hundreds of thousands of us visit coffee shops.While we drink our coffee,we may connect our smartphone to the shop's Wi-Fi network,and keep in touch with friends via services such as Facebook.
As well as socializing,we may use the time and free access to a wireless connection to get on top of our finances.Transferring money from your account to others'accounts is nothing more than a few taps on your screen.
But what coffee drinkers do not realize is that lurking(潜伏) among their fellow coffee-lovers are bank robbers.
Unbeknown to you,this modern form of bank robber is silently collecting all your private data.The only sign of his thievery is perhaps a little smile as your bank log-in details appear on his screen.
You'll only realize when you later go to a cash machine to withdraw(提取)some money,and discover that every penny in your account has been cleared out.
The common method for thieves is to use your smartphone's Wi-Fi connection.They rely on the fact that most of us are not careful about the security of networks we connect to.
For example,when you are in a coffee shop,your smartphone will present you with a list of available Wi-Fi networks that you can use to connect your phone to the Internet.Most of these networks are run by legitimate(合法的)companies,but sometimes they are actually created by a thief sitting nearby with little more than a laptop.
These networks are often given names,such as"Free Public Wi-Fi",which deceive smartphone users into logging in.On the surface,everything seems normal,and you will be able to connect just as you are with a legitimate Wi-Fi service.
However,because you have connected to a network controlled by a thief,he can monitor everything you do,enabling him to collect passwords and log-in details about your bank account.
