Pretty good warning. But I think you should show how easy it is to steal someone's photos, or hack into computer or whatever.

Also there is a missing part "how to secure my WiFi" and "what to do when I have to connect to public wifi".

Of course, I'm not criticizing you, I was just hoping to read more about public's wifis security

Thanks! Okay so for example relying on an VPN is a nice option as long as you trust that VPN. What I do for example (firstly, avoid public WiFi, but in case that's not an option) using a pocket router with an VPN configured. About securing a WiFi, I shall note it down for now because that's more complex.

Stealing someone information used to be easier (thankfully) but even though now is still relatively easy. In any case I take your advise and think about a second part.

Thank you!
