Forging Login Requests
An attacker may forge a request to log the victim in to a target website using the attacker's credentials; this is known as login CSRF. Login CSRF makes various novel attacks possible; for instance, an attacker can later log in to the site with his legitimate credentials and view private information like activity history that has been saved in the account. The attack has been demonstrated against YouTube.

Famous quotes containing the words forging and/or requests:
“The “female culture” has shifted more rapidly than the “male culture”; the image of the go-get ‘em woman has yet to be fully matched by the image of the let’s take-care-of-the-kids- together man. More important, over the last thirty years, men’s underlying feelings about taking responsibility at home have changed much less than women’s feelings have changed about forging some kind of identity at work.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
—Bible: New Testament, Philippians 4:6.
