login credential

A developer Eric Butler showed critical vulnerabilities in most social networking and other websites that allows anyone collect private user data including login credentials from Wi-Fi networks. Butler has created Firefox extension, Firesheep, which will let you essentially eavesdrop on any open Wi-Fi network and capture users’ cookies.

 As is known a good password is one that's hard to guess, yet easy to remember. Yet a great number of Internet users fail to consider these two main factors when inventing secret login credentials. It seems that anyone of the Internet surfers can become an average statistical hacker when it comes to finding passwords to different kind of accounts in social networking, email and even financial services. The task of fitting a password to an account is simplified by users themselves as most people are just too lazy to thoroughly think over secure and reliable passwords.
