Security alert! Data of 2.5 billion Google Chrome users is at risk

/in


Google Chrome is a popular web browser used by billions of people worldwide. In a grim episode of security breach, Imperva Red – a cyber security firm has detected a flaw in Google Chrome and Chromium-based browsers, risking data of over 2.5 billion users. Dubbed CVE-2022-3656, this vulnerability allowed for the theft of sensitive files, such as crypto wallets and cloud provider credentials, the firm says in the post.

“The vulnerability was discovered through a review of the ways the browser interacts with the file system, specifically looking for common vulnerabilities related to the way browsers process symlinks,” the blog reads.

What is a symlink?

Imperva Red defines symlink or a symbolic link as a type of file that points to another file or directory. It allows the operating system to treat the linked file or directory as if it were at the symlink’s location. A symlink, it says can be useful for creating shortcuts, redirecting file paths, or organizing files in a more flexible way.

However, such links can also be used to introduce vulnerabilities if they are not handled properly.

In Google Chrome’s case, the issue arose from the way the browser interacted with symlinks when processing files and directories. To be specific, the browser did not properly check if the symlink was pointing to a location that was not intended to be accessible, which allowed for the theft of sensitive files, the blog post states.

How symlinks affected Google Chrome?

Explaining how the vulnerability impacted Google Chrome, the firm says that an attacker could create a fake website that offers a new crypto wallet service. The website, then could trick…

Ney Work, Dec. 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As per the research report Image Sensor Market published by Reports Insights, the market is projected to reach USD 49.4 billion by the year 2030 from the value of USD 26.3 billion in 2022, Is anticipated to register a CAGR of 8.2% during 2022-2030, propelled by augmented demand for technologically advanced smart devices and autonomous vehicles among consumers.

An image sensor, also known as imager, is the device that identifies and delivers the information which is used to form an image. The sensor converts the variable attenuation of light waves (or electromagnetic radiation) into the signals/minor bursts of current that transfer the information. The crucial function of the image sensor is to convert photons into electrons, and further into a digital value or voltage with the help of analog to digital converter (ADC).

TikTok denies security breach after hackers claim to have records of more than a billion users

/in


TikTok has denied a security breach after posts on hacking forums claimed to have compromised the app’s source code, as well as account details of potentially billions of people. In a statement posted to Twitter, the company said it “found no evidence of a breach,” following an investigation of the claims. The company also told Bloomberg UK that the alleged source code posted by the hackers “is completely unrelated to TikTok’s backend source code.”

Claims of a potential breach had been circulating among the security community after a post on a hacking forum to be in possession of a database with more than two billion entries related to TikTok and WeChat accounts. The hacking group claimed to have obtained the TikTok records from an insecure cloud server.

The supposed hackers published a sample of the TikTok data but, as security researcher Troy Hunt , it contained data that was already publicly accessible and thus “could have been constructed without breach.” Hunt, who runs the “haveibeenpwned” service, the data was overall “pretty inconclusive.”

While TikTok has strongly denied a breach, the info in the database could have come from other means. As Bleeping Computer , it could be the result of a data broker or some other third-party that scraped publicly-available data from the service.

Claims of a security breach come just days after Microsoft researchers that they had found a “high-severity vulnerability” in TikTok’s Android app that put millions of accounts at risk. Microsoft said the vulnerability was fixed less than a month after it alerted TikTok to the issue in February of 2022. TikTok has long faced questions about its and what user data is shared with parent company ByteDance. The company said last month that Oracle would review its algorithms and content moderation systems in an effort to assuage concerns.
