If a cybercriminal steals a recent Remember-Me cookie from a user’s web email login, they can impersonate the user and bypass MFA. To steal these cookies, cybercriminals use phishing links or malicious websites, tricking victims into unknowingly downloading harmful software onto their devices.
Here are tips to protect yourself from putting yourself at risk:
• Regularly clear your cookies from your Internet browser.
• Recognize the risks of clicking the “Remember Me” checkbox when logging into a website.
• Do not click on suspicious links or websites. Only visit sites with a secure connection (HTTPS) to protect your data from being intercepted during transmission.
• Periodically monitor the recent device login history from your account settings.
