Your FR account can be taken over by someone on the same network, including WiFi hotspors, with a few mouse clicks.
If you use a WiFi connection anywhere, even if it is encrypted, but otherwise shared among everyone at the coffee shop you’re at, this utility makes it automatic to steal your Free Republic, Amazon, Facebook, etc. login. It doesn’t matter if you logged in using “https” if you are brought back to a “http” screen afterward, as that is what Yahoo Mail and Hotmail even do to you.
In short, you are screwed if you don’t use a VPN. Good luck putting together a cheap, easy VPN for all of your friends.
Thank you. I don’t go to wifi hot spots, so I thought I was safe, this makes me think not so?
