There is a new Firefox plugin that has just been released as an open source tool. It’s called Fire Sheep, and it is a simple plugin that is installed on any Windows or Mac. It was released by Toorcon 12, and can be used to steal cookies from any computer off the same access to unsecured Wi-Fi network that you’re on.
So if you ‘borrow’ your neighbors wifi or access insecure wifi in public, man you could lose your FaceBook and many more important logins!
The add-on that goes in the left sidebar of the Firefox web browser allows the user to get login-data capture Facebook accounts, Twitter accounts, and any site that is not logged is secured with SSL (https). When you log into your Facebook account, a cookie is sent back to your computer to use for future logins. Someone using F! ire Sheep for Firefox can simply click a button that says “start recording” and steal your login information. All they have to do is click on your Facebook picture and they will be notified as you.

Ooops..
