Concerned about Wi-Fi?  No?  Well you should be!  TG Daily had a terrific piece that you should read

At the Black Hat security convention, Robert Graham, the CEO of errata security, surprised attendees by hijacking a Gmail session on camera and reading the victim?s email.  He went even further by demonstrating the attack in person, taking over another journalist?s Gmail account and then sending us sheep-loving emails.

The attack can hijack sessions in almost any cookie-based web application and Graham has tested it successfully against popular webmail programs like Google?s Gmail, Microsoft?s Hotmail and Yahoo Mail.  He stressed that since the program just uses cookies, he only needs an IP address and usernames and passwords aren?t required.
