RE: Big Brother, wireless at the coffee shop!! URGENT!!

[Guest guest]

Hey I'm at my favorite coffee shop. The local television station was here when I

came in. After a few minutes the reporter came and spoke to me. She knew my name

and that I was on the net deleting my emails. The station is doing a story on a

program, " firesheet, " that taps into wireless, allowing whoever is using it to

link up to other computers in their range and track what that user is doing, to

access all information about the user. They interviewed me for a story their

doing on this topic next week. The tech said that someone using the program

could get into my email accounts, change the password to lock me out and use it

sending emails under my name.

He said the problem is a weakness with Internet Explorer (and, I think,)

other browers. They told me that Firefox has a program for it's users called

" fire sheperd " which will block this type of hacking. So guess who is

downloading Firefox today?

Drats! This pisses me off! I have so much work to do today, too!
