Session Hijacking

Session hijacking is a type of cyber attack where a hacker gains unauthorized access to a user’s active session on a website or online service. This can be achieved by stealing the session ID or token, using a malicious code or exploiting vulnerabilities in the system. Once the attacker has control of the session, they can impersonate the user and access sensitive information such as login credentials, financial data, or personal information. This can result in identity theft, financial loss, or unauthorized access to private accounts. To protect against session hijacking, users should ensure they are using secure connections and regularly log out of their accounts.
