Stopping attackers from stealing active sessions requires a a layered defense strategy and advanced security controls. Session theft occurs when an cybercriminal compromises a user’s session token to masquerade as the user and gain unauthorized access without needing a password. This exploit can be triggered via insecure connections, XSS attacks, or insecurely handled session cookies.

To mitigate the risk of this threat, web platforms and services must enforce HTTPS encryption at all times. This ensures that session tokens are protected from eavesdropping and cannot be easily intercepted on open wireless networks. Moreover, session tokens must be renewed immediately after a user logs in to prevent session fixation attacks.
