Unauthorized access to Facebook and Twitter accounts through open WiFi networks
Engineer Eric Butler has developed an application for the Firefox browser that allows you to access the personal information of users of social networks while accessing them through open Wi-Fi networks.
Eric posted the free download application on his website .
Firesheep replaces cookies, which makes it easy to read the personal correspondence of other people who used unencrypted wi-fi.
In the first day, Butler’s application was downloaded by over 100 thousand “novice hackers”. Given the wide functionality of Firesheep, you can receive confidential data from many sites, such as Amazon, Google, Flickr, Facebook. Twitter, Tumblr, WordPress, and many more. It is possible that Firesheep was already able to configure and to "receive" data from Vkontakte - Butler also put the application source in free access.
