Hackers hijack accounts without stealing passwords — how session attacks work

Cybercriminals are increasingly using session token theft to hijack accounts without ever knowing the victim's password or two-factor code. After a user logs in, attackers steal the session cookie — via malware or phishing — and impersonate the victim directly in their browser. This method bypasses most traditional security measures because the system recognises the session as legitimate.

Are a strong password and 2FA enough to protect online accounts today?

Washing machine Eco mode uses less electricity than short cycles — use it

The Eco mode on washing machines can run for several hours, leading most users to assume it consumes more electricity. In fact, it uses far less energy than shorter, hotter programmes because it washes at lower temperatures and limits water heating. Using Eco regularly can meaningfully cut electricity bills.

Do you use the Eco mode on your washing machine?

Female biker Katarzyna Olewińska: "Motorcycling is no longer just for men"

The scientists stress that bumblebees play a vital role in ecosystems as pollinators and should not be harmed. The findings highlight the need for better monitoring of environmental pollutants that affect insects.

Prof. Hryciuk: Ukrainian historians mythologise OUN and UPA role in Volhynia massacre

Professor Grzegorz Hryciuk of the University of Wrocław argues that some Ukrainian historians are building a mythologised historical narrative that denies the criminal nature of OUN and UPA actions against Poles in 1943–1945. The scholar addresses the question of what Stepan Bandera knew about the Volhynia genocide and points to political entanglement in Ukrainian historiography.
