Google Chrome is the most popular browser on desktop, which is why it’s also one of the most popular targets for hackers. This makes perfect sense given how much personal and sensitive info we store in our browsers, and now, hackers have come up with a clever new way to steal all that data and even take over our computers.
As reported by BleepingComputer, a new attack called ‘Browser Syncjacking’ was recently spotted online by security researchers at the cybersecurity firm SquareX. The attack involves several steps, but what makes it particularly dangerous is that it’s sneaky and requires minimal permissions. There’s very little a Chrome user has to do to fall victim to it.
