Just don't use unprotected wireless connections.

Yikes.

This goes beyond Facebook; it demonstrates just how wide-open you are when you're doing private stuff on your PC through an unsecured wireless LAN. If it ain't encrypted and password-protected, it ain't worth using!

Has nothing to do with Facebook in general. Most anything you do on a non encrypted connection and be picked up by the right person. That's why you never want to do anything important on them.

It's not because it's a wireless connection. I just tested it on a wired network and it worked fine. Man this is a lot easier than sniffing packets.... Awesome
