   > via Chrome   
      
   > Hackers have discovered a new way to remotely take contro tol of   
   > your computer - all through the Google Chrome web browser. A   
   > report from cybersecurity company SquareX lays out the new   
   > multifaceted cyberattack, which the firm has dubbed "browser   
   > syncjacking." At the core of the attack is a social engineering   
   > element, as the malicious actor first must convince the user to   
   > download a Chrome extension. The Chrome extension is usually   
   > disguised as a helpful tool that can be downloaded via the   
   > official Chrome Store. It requires minimal permissions, further   
   > cementing its perceived legitimacy to the user. According to   
   > SquareX, the extension actually does usually work as   
   > advertised, in order to further disguise the source of the   
   > attack from the user.

   I tapped the link and got a 404 page    
   From that page I was able to read some interesting articles about Cybersecurity   
   by tapping the icon in the upper Left corner and selecting Tech, and   
   Cybersecurity.   
      
   I might not had got to read the article Your post linked to since I read Your   
   post today and You wrote it some months ago.   
      
   Thanks for letting me know of the website.
