This flaw in Google Chrome & Chromium-based browsers enabled data theft of information such as cryptocurrency wallets and credentials from over 2.5 billion users

Posted by in categories: cryptocurrencies, cybercrime/malcode

Researchers from the cyber security firm Imperva Red Team have disclosed information on a newly found and fixed vulnerability that affected over 2.5 billion Google Chrome users as well as all Chromium-based browsers such as Edge and Opera.

The vulnerability, which is identified as CVE-2022–3656, makes it possible for remote attackers to acquire sensitive user data such as passwords for cloud service providers and knowledge about cryptocurrency wallets. After further investigation, it was determined that the problem was caused by the manner in which the Chrome browser dealt with symlinks when processing directories and files.

Hackers constantly improve at penetrating cyber defenses to steal valuable documents. So some researchers propose using an artificial-intelligence algorithm to hopelessly confuse them, once they break-in, by hiding the real deal amid a mountain of convincing fakes. The algorithm, called Word Embedding–based Fake Online Repository Generation Engine (WE-FORGE), generates decoys of patents under development. But someday it could “create a lot of fake versions of every document that a company feels it needs to guard,” says its developer, Dartmouth College cybersecurity researcher V. S. Subrahmanian.

If hackers were after, say, the formula for a new drug, they would have to find the relevant needle in a haystack of fakes. This could mean checking each formula in detail—and perhaps investing in a few dead-end recipes. “The name of the game here is, ‘Make it harder,’” Subrahmanian explains. “‘Inflict pain on those stealing from you.’”

In this article, let us see how to build a potential darkweb monitoring tool out of ChatGPT

The dark web is a notorious and often misunderstood part of the internet, known for its anonymous communication and the buying and selling of illegal goods and services. It is not indexed by traditional search engines and is only accessible through specialized software, such as the Tor browser.

While the dark web can be a breeding ground for criminal activity, it is also a valuable resource for cyber security firms, law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity and threat intelligence individuals looking to track and monitor illegal activities.
