Google Chrome Vulnerability and Fake Converter Scams

Google Chrome users on Windows are facing a critical security issue due to a vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-2783, which allows remote attackers to bypass Chrome's sandbox protection. This vulnerability has led to a wave of sophisticated malware attacks, known as 'Operation ForumTroll', targeting various sectors. Google has issued an emergency update to address this issue, urging users to update their browsers immediately. Meanwhile, the FBI has warned against fake online document converters that install malware or ransomware on users' devices and scrape sensitive information from uploaded files. These scams mimic legitimate services, have seen a rise in incidents, and are being reported to authorities, with the FBI urging public vigilance and prompt reporting of any such experiences. Both Google and the FBI emphasize the importance of cautious online behavior, such as avoiding suspicious links and verifying the authenticity of online services.
