Over 2.5 Billion Google Chrome Users’ Information was Breached

 

It is no longer necessary for a person to commute to a physical location to find information about anything they are interested in. 
Currently, Google can be trusted to provide the most relevant information about anything and everything. Google has a wealth of information available at the click of a button. Data threat risk is also growing along with the acceptance of cloud services leading to the rise of data breaches. 
With billions of users, Google Chrome is gaining an increasing amount of popularity as one of the most popular web browsers. 
According to the cyber security firm Imperva Red, a vulnerability in Google Chrome and Chromium browsers could expose the data of over 2.5 billion users worldwide to the risk of theft or other harm. 
The company is reporting that a vulnerability known as CVE-2022-3656 can be exploited to steal private information, such as the login credentials of cloud providers and crypto wallets. An assessment of how the browser interacts with the file system found a vulnerability in the way the browser works with the file system.
