Hi there, is it possible to block hackers from stealing a session with the history function of the browser? Example: A user registeres and recives a confirm e-mail. He confirms and does close all browser windows. He leaves. Another user comes to this computer opens the browser and the history and clicks on the confirm link Boom!! He has the session and is able to do all the stuff the other one can. How could I close this security hole? Is there a work around? Thanx, Andy
