Beware Google Chrome scam that could inject malware into your computer
Dunno, I use Firefox
A Google Chrome scam that could infect your computer with malware continues to pose a threat to users, according to cybersecurity experts.
Last month security company Proofpoint warned that hackers can inject script into poorly-protected web pages. The script, which targets the Chrome browser on Windows, rewrites the compromised website on the victim’s browser to make the page unreadable and creates a fake issue for the user to resolve.
A popup, which contains the message “The ‘HoeflerText’ font wasn’t found,” urges users to download an update to their computers. The update, however, is actually a malware download.
