As all Internet users have the right to online identity protection, it is advisable to be informed about possible security risks.

For example, this is possible if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted/unsecured network - as is the case with some Wi-Fi networks.

If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to gain access to information transmitted through cookies. For these reasons, it is essential to pay close attention to the settings that protect your personal information available online.
