Remember Firesheep, that Firefox extension that lets users effortlessly 'hack' into the Twitter and Facebook accounts of anyone using a public network by capturing user cookies? I'm currently at the DLD Conference in Munich, Germany, which is host to a whole lot of tech luminaries, executives, startups, press and investors alike. The organization has provided every attendee with access to a public WiFi network dubbed DLDpublic, and lo and behold, looks like many of them haven't taken any measures to prevent the above-described hijacking from happening.
