Yes - “session hijacking”
Session jacking usually requires a virus of some sort. They need local access to the computer at a minimum.
Eh, compromising the website in some way with XSS can retrieve this information also.
Sketchy browser plugins have been a popular method recently.
That would be considered a virus.
It would be considered malware but not technically a virus.
Most people consider any sort of “thing installed or running on my computer against my knowledge doing bad stuff” to be a virus.
That’s why the OP said “installing any virus in my computer”
how can i avoid that to happen?? do i delete cookies and history every time i leave my browser?? thank you!!
Make sure you keep your software (operating system, browser etc) up to date and don’t install sketchy software.
Install a reputable add blocker on your browser as that can help.
ok thank you!! i only install open source software or software that is known to be secure.
