Facebook and Twitter account password for grabs in WiFi networks

Just on the news: a harrowing warning to all users of WiFi networks.

A freely downloadable and easy to use program called Firesheep, allows felonious hacks to copy the inlog data of someone else on that network. Facebook and Twitter accounts are up for grabs and identities get stolen like there’s no tomorrow.

Eric Butler, who developed the program, submitted that his program would be a success only if it doesn’t work anymore. Until then: networkers beware! The program has been downloaded more than 200,000 times.
