lol, no. A cookie grabber is someone who can access your cookie folder and get all of your passwords for Neopets, email, forums, etc. It only happens if you go to a webpage that has the code and stuff.. I think anyways.

I know a lot about this sort of thing, since I have been almost victimized by it twice. Some folks in an AIM restock chatroom that I went to a year ago used them, as there were not-so-nice folks there in addition to the good ones. They also hacked old gallery accounts and held "1 np sales", in which they actually priced items at 99,999 NP as soon as they started them to trick people (Luckily, I wasn't that gullible, although occasionally they held true 1 np sales with accounts that I'm not entirely certain were perfectly legal.) Some people on the NeoBoards also tried using this by making a "rate my pic" board that linked to a page that had an image of a... um... rotund girl as well as a javascript application that downloaded your Neopets cookies, allowing the abuser to instantly login to your account.

Im still not unfrozen.. and I highly doubt I ever will be. If Im not unfrozen by the end of this month (Or December), I've decided to quit Neopets.

When I was hacked I saw my NP drop from 500K to 10K in a matter of seconds.
