Greetings all,
I have reason to believe someone is gaining access to my phone and bank statements online. I have scanned my computer for viruses and spyware and found nothing, I also did a clean reinstall of the system software just in case. I’ve been reading a lot about "cookies" and found that a person can bypass any passwords by having the right ones. I did have an open wireless network in my home in the past and think that the cookies could have been stolen at that time. Can having the right cookies really help a person gain access to a site as secure as a bank’s?
The cookies are only going to last for a short time and personally, I would not worry about them.
What is your current setup? Do you have wireless encryption turned on? Are you sure you are connecting to your wireless network and not a neighbors [are there other SSID's that look like yours (SSID is the name of your wireless network)]?
Let me know your basic setup and I’ll be able to help more.
Regards,
Jim.
