In the world of computers and the internet, there’s a constant battle between people trying to protect their information and hackers trying to sneak in and steal it. Think of it like a game of cops and robbers, but with keyboards and code instead of handcuffs and getaway cars.
Not long ago, some smart researchers at a company called Kaspersky found out that hackers were using a special kind of trick called a “one-click phishing attack.” This trick is really sneaky because it convinces people to click on something they think is safe, but it’s actually a trap. Once the person clicks, bad software called malware slips onto their computer like a burglar sneaking through an unlocked door.
What’s even trickier is that these hackers were using a weak spot in a very popular web browser named Google Chrome to pull off their plan. This weak spot is kind of like a secret passage that the hackers found and used to slip in unnoticed. But once the researchers figured out what was happening, they told the people who make Chrome, and they quickly put up a blockade to stop the hackers by fixing the weak spot with something called a patch.
