Signal Boost: Firesheep
While I've been warning people about this kind of security hole for a long time, I probably haven't explained it nearly as nicely as this post. Also? The fact that Firesheep now exists, making things even easier for people to collect your info... well... pay attention folks. You really don't want to be the person talking to me later saying "Well, I just didn't think it was that easy... I figured I was fine!"
Trust me when I say that the effort involved up front is nothing compared to the pain of 'after the fact'.
