In reply to Melvin. Yeah, each time something like this happens, I up my security procedures. It's like flossing - I know I should be doing it more but it takes a trip to the dentist to get me back on track.

Good article…. Should give some people to make some thoughts about private data! If you start to read more about it, it’s getting scary!

In reply to Stuart. Yes, this will help. The problem here is that sometimes we have no choice, as that might be the only thing available. In addition, this is even a problem on "secured" networks, such as a hotel network with a password. Just because the network requires a password doesn't prevent someone else on the network from running the firefox plug-in. Less likely, yes, but by no means safe.

Or, just don’t use unsecured WiFi networks.

Thanks for sharing this. I’ll be looking at the plug-in you have suggested.
