"Cookie Stealing Kits Represent Yet Another Cookie Headache"

Hackers are increasingly using cookies to gain unauthorized access to sessions and accounts. Cookie hijacking involves hackers stealing session cookies, which are small files used by apps and websites to recognize returning users and provide personalized experiences. Their use among cybercriminals has increased significantly in recent months. Most hackers have attempted to gain access to user accounts by obtaining usernames and passwords. However, the increased implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), stronger passwords, biometrics, just-in-time protocols, and advanced passkeys have made cookie theft far more attractive to criminals. They no longer have to worry about authentication or verification because the user is still logged in. This article continues to discuss the concept and prevention of cookie hijacking.
