Threat notes in 2026 keep showing session cookies harvested from everyday browsers, then reused against market accounts. Victims insist they never typed a password on a fake onion — and they may be right. The endpoint was already compromised.
A correct onion does not protect a browser full of stealers or a malicious extension. “Already logged in” when you did not expect a session should be treated as hostile.
- Keep market personas off daily browsers when possible
- Never reuse work credentials
- Re-auth carefully after any endpoint scare
