Facebook, wifi & security - what you need to know

I actually talk quite a bit about wifi and security (and even in connection with Facebook) in the class I'm teaching this week (it falls under the "how to keep your private life... private" section...)

----------------------------------
If you use facebook, make sure you change the security settings. The default behavior is over http and this Wi-Fi sniffing app (facesniff) for Android is gaining a lot of traction. It builds a quick 'hit-list' of usernames/passwords it has gathered as folks login with their mobile phones or other devices over wi-fi. Then it builds a hyperlink style list for someone to login to your account instantly after it is captured.
