A friend of mine had her yahoo or Facebook account hijacked and of
course a bunch of spam went out to her address book.  Her IT director
gave her the following advice, among other.  Anybody know about Firesheep?

"Someone is using an app called Firesheep on your open WiFi network
and stealing your login information.  You can fix this by installing
a simple add-on to your Firefox browser.  Action: Click here and
follow the directions to install the free security add-on >>> "
