Google’s Uninvited Guest: How Your New Password is Useless Against Crafty Cyber Cookie Monsters
In an unexpected twist of events, Google’s turned our cyber-security world upside down. An infostealer malware can now steal your Google account session tokens and keep them valid, even post-password change. Akin to a burglar enjoying your whiskey and petting your cat, while you’re busy…
Hot Take:
In a world where we're all told to change our passwords every 30 minutes or risk being hacked by a 12-year-old in a basement halfway across the world, it seems Google has thrown us a curveball. An infostealer malware has been found to not only steal your session tokens but also to keep them valid even after you've changed your password. It's like locking your front door only to realize the burglar is already in your living room, sipping your expensive whiskey and petting your cat. Well done, Google, well done.Already a member?
