Sidejacking is a form of cyber attack in which an attacker steals a session cookie from a legitimate website visited by a legitimate client.
(SVR).


These cookies often contain usernames and passwords, and are generally sent back unencrypted, even if the original log-in was protected via https.
A standard variable rate is a rate of mortgage interest set by the lender, that they have the discretion to change from time to time.


The session cookie is then used to gain unauthorised access to systems.
It is usually more expensive for the borrower overall, compared with other mortgage deals.
