I am just wondering, how could someone craft an html to steal cookies? If your cookie distribution is done right, I don't think you need to worry about this.
That's what XSS is all about. I don't have the link handy but I do have a PDF file that I found a while back that explains how this happens, and to tell the truth, it scared the s*** outa me. To the point that I really don't trust any online commerce, although I do still use it, just as I still give the waitress/waiter my credit card at a restaurant, even though I know that's where most of the identity theft/stolen CC numbers comes from.
