The 2nd sentence does not inspire much confidence in me. :-)
QuoteSo, you should put forged cookies low on the list of scary things to worry about on the internet. However, Grossman said changing your password regularly should theoretically negate any forged cookies - should they even exist.
Should I change my email from Yahoo to someone else ?
With over 1/2 billion accounts effected, someone is dropping the ball.
Get a gmail account..yahoo has been leaky for a long time.

Use a browser that gives you the option of deleting all your cookies.
As Hutch said...
But wouldn't doing so require one to manually log in to every site ?
There is yet another trick, use a browser that has an "incognito" mode which means it deletes all of the cookies on exit.
Freedom is not free,and if you go on the web,be sure to wear your best armor...Its a jungle out there..!!
