Firefox Adon Firessheep to hack users Facebook and Twitter accounts

Firesheep is a new Firefox plugin that makes it easy for you to hijack other people's social network connections. Firesheep is available for download at http://codebutler.github.com/firesheep

Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.

The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS. Firefox users please visit the link of the Electronic Frontier Foundation https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
