[QUOTE="Kongo, post: 1015737, member: 59691"] Redline stealer or other stealer malware are probably one of the most common malware families these days. They steal your stored cookies and other browser data like passwords (If saved in the browser). Best way to mitigate the risk is to store passwords in a password manager and also delete cookies on browser exit.
