Ask HN: Can FireSheep read passwords from mobile devices that use WIFI?
If I use my iPhone / Kindle (with WiFi on) at a coffee shop, could something like Firesheep collect passwords as I browse with my device?
- thenayr 16y agoYes, tried just a few minutes ago.
- jorgem 16y agoWow! That is a MUCH huger problem -- iPhone users don't always know/understand if they are on WiFi or cellular.
