Submission + - Warning of wi-fi Browser Cookie Hijack (bbc.co.uk)
tgacid writes: "Using public wi-fi hotspots has got much riskier as security experts unveil tools that nab login data over the air.
Demonstrated at the Black Hat hacker conference in Las Vegas, these new tools make it far easier to steal account details. Identifying files called cookies are stolen in the attack which let hackers pose as their victim. This gives attackers access to mail messages or the page someone maintains on sites such as MySpace or Facebook."
