If you have watched the content, you would have realised he mentioned it was one of his editorial team member whom has the malware in his/her system which has browsers cookies and session tokens duplicated.

Let’s just be objective about this. You heard it from someone prominent enough, but you will not hear it from anyone you are unaware of. I doubt this is a targeted attack, and such vulnerabilities are more prevalent than we normally perceive.

Be Informed. Be Alert.

He should have that team member fired. Kill a chicken to teach monkies.
Besides having an office IT equipment infected with malware is a serious infraction. :cool:

Maybe he should; like many thousands out there whom are victims of security vulnerabilities.
What do you think ?

Don't be surprised tons of people today don't log out of their sessions. Closing your browser won't.
