Ask HN: Can FireSheep read passwords from mobile devices that use WIFI?

2 pointsjorgem3 comments

If I use my iPhone / Kindle (with WiFi on) at a coffee shop, could something like Firesheep collect passwords as I browse with my device?

If you want to do some digging yourself, here are some suggestions to get started.

Yes, tried just a few minutes ago.

Wow! That is a MUCH huger problem -- iPhone users don't always know/understand if they are on WiFi or cellular.
