Read 1st - http://goo.gl/6KKwJ

One reason you may be reading this is that your WiFi client let you know that there was an Open or WEP-encrypted WiFi network with the name "Read 1st - http://goo.gl/6KKwJ".

If so, you need to be aware that the WiFi network so described is quite insecure and anyone connected to it can intercept all unencrypted traffic passing across it.

You also need to understand Firesheep. In particular, you need to understand the vulnerability Firesheep exploits, and why it is in your interests to protect yourself against the techniques it exploits.
