Hackers are using a new method to steal your Google password, and it happens from the official sign-in page.
Hackers are swiping passwords from Google accounts in Chrome , and it can happen from the official Google sign-in page. The vehicle being used is called the AutoIt Credential Flusher, and it was discovered by the researchers at OALabs. The attack locks you into your browser at the Google sign-in page and doesn’t allow you to leave, all while logging your email and password as you sign into your Google account.
Recommended Videos What’s tricky about the attack is that it happens on the official Google sign-in page. It doesn’t redirect you to a fake sign-in page. Instead, the malware is abusing kiosk mode to lock you into signing into your Google account, and it leverages a piece of malware called StealC to swipe your credentials as you’re signing in. With this attack, it’s possible to pass along your Google account details without even suspecting that your PC is infected.
