Hi,
Did any of you come across an incident of VPN hijacking? Theoretically, if I use an unprotected client to access the VPN, if someone hacks into my client PC, he can hijack the session. Did this ever happen ?
If he can hack your client PC why bother hijacking the session. It's already game over. He can then just access your VPN through your compromised client PC.
Thanks, Ishai Wertheimer
