Users of Firefox on open WiFi ...

The article begins ...

"A new Firefox extension called Firesheep makes it possible for anyone on an open WiFi network to access log-in information for sites like Facebook and Twitter from other computers on the network.

It's a stunning privacy breach that exploits a well-known hole in secure data transmission.

While using Firesheep, a window opens and as other computers on the WiFi network log in to secure Web sites, you get a notification that someone's account is ready for you. Just double click on the person's name and their Facebook account opens up.
