Session Cookies Are Being Reused Across Shadow Tools

When users copy cookies from one browser or device to another (or reuse sessions in multiple tabs), attackers can exploit those patterns to impersonate users across internal tools.

JWT Tokens Are Staying Valid for Months

APIs issuing long-lived JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) — sometimes valid for 90+ days — give attackers an extended window to exploit any leaked token.

“Remember Me” Functions Don’t Respect Risk Context

Persistent sessions ignore new IPs, locations, or device fingerprints — allowing attackers to use stolen cookies without triggering auth challenges.

Free email without sacrificing your privacy

Gmail tracks you. Proton doesn’t. Get private email that puts your data — and your privacy — first.

SSO Providers Are Allowing Third-Party Token Injection

Some identity providers accept session tokens issued by third-party tools — giving external services unexpected access to internal resources.

Logout Doesn’t Always Invalidate Sessions

Many apps fail to revoke backend tokens when a user logs out — leaving active sessions running silently in the background.

Security Tools Rarely Monitor Session Behavior

Most detection systems focus on login activity — not the behavior of active sessions, allowing stolen tokens to be used quietly for lateral movement or data theft.
