DroidSheep

A Firesheep-style app for Android, for hijacking the sessions of other users on a network who are logged in to pretty much any site that uses cookies.

I’m not suggesting you use DroidSheep or apps like it; rather that you should assume someone else is whenever you’re using an open WiFi hotspot. The solution? Use a VPN or SSH SOCKS proxy.
