Session hijacking is a type of cyberattack that WordPress site owners need to know about. Also known as TCP session hijacking, session hijacking makes attackers look like properly logged-in users. The attacker takes over a user session by obtaining their session ID without the valid user’s knowledge or permission. After a hacker has stolen a user’s session ID, they can masquerade as the targeted user. The attacker will be able to do everything the authorized user can do when they’re logged into the same system.
