From EnableSecurity Blog related to Surf Jack/Surf Jacking case introduced at DEFCON 16:


"Say hello to a new security tool called Surf Jack which demonstrates a security flaw found in many public sites.
The proof of concept tool allows testers to steal session cookies on HTTP and HTTPS sites that do not set the Cookie 
secure flag.
Ive been working with two banks and some of the vulnerable sites to get this fixed before publishing my research.
Mike Perry gave a talk at Defcon involving the exact same vulnerability - so there is no point in keeping this from the 
public."
