Tech News World : Firesheep Exposes the Soft Underbelly of Website Security

"The new Firefox plug-in Firesheep is a tool that a public WiFi hotspot user can implement to snoop on the activities of other users of that hotspot. Mozilla says the flaw Firesheep exploits is not found in Firefox per se, but rather in the lax security standards to which many popular websites adhere. Firesheep will make it easier for malicious hackers to do their dirty work, but it also may motivate improvements." ~Richard Adhikari

Well this is interesting. For you non-techies this should be a bit of a wake up call, and for you techies this is yet another way to have fun with others.
I have to say this doesn't surprise me. I, in some ways, am amazed it took this long for someone to find a way to create a hacking add in to Firefox. This might be one of the reasons I do not use my laptop at Starbucks, that and the fact that they want a subscription.
