The Unmasking of Google’s Chrome Bug: A Plot Twist in Cyber Security
A twist in the tale of Google’s Chrome bug reveals it to be a flaw in the open-source libwebp library, implicating numerous other projects and highlighting the importance of prompt, cross-platform security measures.
Hot Take:

Initially, they thought they were dealing with a Chrome bug, but surprise, surprise, it turned out to be a flaw in the open-source libwebp library.
