The “Session Cookie” Hijack: Why MFA Can’t Always Save You

CybersecurityBy Ernie AyresMay 30, 2026Leave a comment

MFA is a strong front-door lock. But it’s not the only thing that decides whether someone can get in. After you sign in, your browser keeps you logged in using a session token (often stored as a cookie).

Online PresenceBy Ernie AyresMay 10, 2026Leave a comment

A fake recruiter message is one of the cleanest social engineering tricks around because it doesn’t look like a trick. That’s why LinkedIn recruitment scams work so well inside real businesses.  They don’t arrive as malware.

Working from HomeBy Ernie AyresMay 5, 2026Leave a comment

In the traditional office, a “Clean Desk” policy was a simple habit: shred the sensitive stuff, lock it away, and don’t leave passwords where someone can see them. In 2026, the same idea still matters but the “desk” has changed.  For many teams, the home office is now the default workspace, and that means physical…
