[QUOTE="Carders, post: 652, member: 17"] [B]5. Bypassing 2FA using Session Cookies[/B] Stealing cookies or hijacking a session allows hackers to gain access to your account without having any passwords or 2FA codes. The browser stores a special session cookie, so that the user does not need to enter the account password every time. It contains information about the user, supports their authentication in the system, and tracks session activity. [B]Session cookies remain in the browser until the user logs out manually[/B]. Thus, a criminal can use cookies to access the user's account. Cybercriminals know many methods of account hijacking, such as session hijacking and locking, cross-site scripting, and the use of malware. This method is most popular among hackers because it is the easiest to use. [B]6. Bypass 2FA with SIM-jacking[/B] This is a type of attack in which the attacker gains [B]full control of the victim's phone number. [/B]For example, fraudsters can get a number of basic data about the user, and then impersonate the user in the mobile operator's salon in order to issue a new SIM card. In addition, a SIM-jacking attack is also possible through malware installed on the victim's smartphone. In this case, a hacker can intercept one-time codes sent via 2FA via SMS. This allows an attacker to hack into all the victim's accounts and gain full access to the necessary data.
