Google’s Chrome OS Hacked By Security Researchers
It looks like Google’s Chrome OS has been hacked by two security
researchers who demonstrated the hack at the Black Hat security
conference yesterday, and according to a report they used a web based
attack to compromise the security of Google’s Chrome OS.
Matt Johanson and Kyle Osborn two researchers from White Hat
Security’s Threat Research Center,were able to access a number of things
within Google’s Chrome OS, which included contacts, emails, Google Docs
and even Google Voice messages.
Google has been informed of the vulnerabilities that were used to
gain access to the information, so we can expect to see these issues
fixed with a security update in the near future.
