Google Releases Spectre PoC Exploit For Chrome

Google has released the side-channel exploit in hopes of motivating web-application developers to protect their sites. Google has released proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code, which leverages the Spectre attack against the Chrome browser to leak data from websites. Three years after the Spectre attack was first disclosed, researchers with Google have now released a demonstration website that leverages the attack, written in JavaScript, to leak data at a speed of 1 kilobyte per second (kbps) when running on Chrome 88 on an Intel Skylake CPU. The researchers said they hope the PoC will light a fire under web application developers to take active steps to protect their sites.

Exchange Cyberattacks Escalate as Microsoft Rolls One-Click Fix

minute read Share this article: Public proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits for ProxyLogon could be fanning a feeding frenzy of attacks even as patching makes progress. As dangerous attacks accelerate against Microsoft Exchange Servers in the wake of the disclosure around the ProxyLogon group of security bugs, a public proof-of-concept (PoC) whirlwind has started up. It’s all leading to a feeding frenzy of cyber-activity. The good news, however, is that Microsoft has issued a one-click mitigation and remediation tool in light of the ongoing swells of attacks. Researchers said that while advanced persistent threats (APTs) were the first to the game when it comes to hacking vulnerable Exchange servers, the public PoCs mean that the cat is officially out of the bag, meaning that less sophisticated cybercriminals can start to leverage the opportunity.

Google Warns Mac, Windows Users of Chrome Zero-Day Flaw

The use-after-free vulnerability is the third Google Chrome zero-day flaw to be disclosed in three months. Google is hurrying out a fix for a vulnerability in its Chrome browser that’s under active attack – its third zero-day flaw so far this year. If exploited, the flaw could allow remote code-execution and denial-of-service attacks on affected systems. The vulnerability exists in Blink, the browser engine for Chrome developed as part of the Chromium project. Browser engines convert HTML documents and other web page resources into the visual representations viewable to end users. “The Stable channel has been updated to 89.0.4389.90 for Windows, Mac and Linux which will roll out over the coming days/weeks,” according to Google’s Friday security update.
