From Cookies to Keys: Why Hackers Don’t Need Your Passwords Anymore
Session hijacking through stolen tokens has become a primary attack vector that circumvents traditional password-based security controls. Attackers exploit compromised session tokens and cookies to gain unauthorized access without needing legitimate credentials, enabling rapid lateral movement within enterprise environments.
Why it matters: Security teams must prioritize token and session management controls: practitioners should audit cookie handling, implement token expiration and rotation policies, and deploy behavioral detection for anomalous session activity to prevent account takeover at scale.
