To mitigate future risks and enhance security, the following recommendations are proposed:

Audit Configuration: Regularly audit server configurations to ensure that sensitive information, such as ASP.NET machine keys, is not publicly exposed or misconfigured.

Implement Stronger Cookie Security Practices: Utilize HttpOnly and Secure attributes for cookies to prevent unauthorized access and ensure they are transmitted over secure channels only.

Enhance Monitoring and Response Protocols: Develop and implement robust monitoring solutions to detect and respond to unusual session and cookie activity in real-time.

User Education: Provide users with clear guidelines on managing their privacy settings and the importance of securing their accounts.

Conduct Regular Security Training: Ensure that technical staff are well-trained in the latest security practices and vulnerabilities to prevent similar incidents in the future.



By adopting these recommendations, organizations can better protect user data and maintain trust in their digital platforms.
