A malware exploit has been discovered by CloudSEK, allowing hackers to access Google accounts without a password. The exploit, first disclosed on Telegram, exploits third-party cookies and bypasses two-factor authentication, posing a significant risk to users relying on additional security measures.

Google Chrome, the world’s most widely used web browser, has been targeted by a malware. The web browser, with over 60% market share, is currently working to enhance security by cracking down on third-party cookies. However, users are advised to remain vigilant and regularly remove any malware from their devices, activating ‘Enhanced Safe Browsing’ in Chrome to protect against phishing attempts and malware downloads.
