  • Browser syncjacking: new research details worrying hacking technique

  • Cybersecurity researchers at SquareX have discovered a major new hacking technique that allows attackers to hijack a user’s browser and eventually take control of their entire device. Using a method called browser extension syncjacking, hackers exploit basic permissions and social engineering tactics to gain full access to a victim’s profile, credentials, and even company files stored on Google Drive or OneDrive. This stealthy attack has no obvious signs and bypasses security measures by leveraging Chrome’s native messaging protocol. With organizations often lacking visibility into browser extension activity, millions of users are at risk. Click here to read more about how this attack works and how to protect yourself.
