Cookiejacking: Another reason to clear cookies when leaving browser

[Medico]

PC World has posted a must read article on cookiejacking in IE. I believe this shows a valid reason to clear cookies when the browser is closed.

Another way overblown threat. Common sense, i.e. not clicking on things just because some unknow person/site requests it, will prevent this. I'd rather be observant and wary than clear cookies every time the browser closes.

As mentioned in other threads, Windows and IE are meant to be used by the masses who unfortunately are not nearly as PC literate as many of us here in the Lounge. Yes this should not be major problems to most, but those that spend a lot of time on social network sites and do not take their security seriously could be hit by this. It's more just info that you can use or disregard as you would like.
