No One Is Safe From Firesheep, Not Even Ashton Kutcher

Whoops! Looks like Mr Ahston Kutcher may have fallen prey to Firesheep, the Firefox extension which sniffs out and hijacks browsing sessions.

Hopefully the guy or gal who has control of his account is just a Firesheep vigilante with no cruel intentions, but I suppose we’ll probably find out soon.

Either way, in the future Kutcher should be sure to use some kind of Firesheep protection method such as BlackSheep, FireshepherdHTTPS Everywhere. Either that or he’s gotta stop using shady Wi-Fi hotspots! [Twitter]

    This guy should have approached Ashton and explained the problem to him in friendly terms. I’m sure he would have appreciated the effort.
