The technology blog and podcast and TSB

Hello folks, welcome to podcast 242 of the security box podcast. Do you want some cookies? Yes, I ate a whole box, but they were sma;ll cookies and I intended not to do that.

These cookies however are not to be eaten, and you'll find out all about it.

We'll have news, notes and the landscape as well as trivia.

We hope you enjoy the program as much as I have putting it together for you.

You think of cookies as things that you eat. But there are cookies on your computer which tell sites that you're logged in to an account you control and they contain your preferences. But what would happen if someone was able to steal them and get in to those sites bypassing even the 2-factor authentication we have been telling you to use? Yes, if my memory serves me, that is what Cookie Bite does.
