📎 AI Summary:
The thread focuses on the security issue of “cookiejacking” in Internet Explorer—specifically whether an attacker could exploit how IE handles cookies to steal login credentials for sites where the user already has accounts. The key question implied by the opener is the plausibility/mechanism of gaining access via cookies, with the linked post serving as the main explanation. Overall sentiment is cautionary/concerned, treating the issue as a credible vulnerability vector for IE users.
