Cookie Replay Attack
A cookie replay attack is when a bad person steals a cookie that a website gave you and then uses that cookie to pretend to be you on that website. Think of it like this: when you go to a party, the host gives you a sticker on your shirt so they know who you are. But if a bad person takes your sticker and puts it on their own shirt, they can pretend to be you at the party.
In computer terms, a cookie is a small piece of data that a website gives to your web browser. It helps the website remember who you are and what you’ve done on their site. But if a bad person gets a hold of your cookie, they can use it to pretend to be you on that website. This can be a big problem if that website has sensitive information, like your credit card number or your email address.
To protect yourself from cookie replay attacks, you should always make sure to log out of websites when you’re done using them, and be careful about using public Wi-Fi networks. You can also use anti-virus software to help protect your computer from bad people stealing your cookies.
