DENVER - Hackers are using a new tool for getting at your personal information. It's an add-on to the Firefox web browser called Firesheep.

Hackers go to places like coffee shops and airports that offer Wi-Fi to the public. Firesheep enables them to double click on an unsecured network, then spy on the unsecured sites you are visiting.

The hacker could be at a table or bench right next to you or a block away.
