> Public Wi-Fi in the world of HTTPS Story time. Someone I know once got laid thanks to Facebook not encrypting their sessions My university was still using basic ass unencrypted WiFi with some kind of terrible dns-hijack sign in to “auth”. This of course meant that everyone put their shiny MacBooks on essentially public wifi and logged in to social media in the clear in class. Some enterprising chaps made a browser extension that made it trivial to snoop any open sessions and impersonate that session in a new tab. Someone I know would do this during lecture and post to people’s social media as them saying they should pay attention in lecture. Possibly some other scandalous things were said. The hilarity that led from that stranger doing so led to the beautiful nerdy girl sitting behind this person noticing and daring them to post more. That became hanging out, parties, and as far as I know they got married and have kids now. Literal people exist that wouldn’t otherwise because Facebook didn’t have HTTPS
