Warning: Malware Based on Chrome is Real

• eli 16y ago
  So what are they supposed to do about this? Even if you move legit security warnings out of the browser window and into the chrome, I don't think it does much to stop this sort of attack.

    What about making the address bar red when there is a bad site, similar to how the address bar is green for ssl sites?
    • eli 16y ago
      Sure, but how many of the people who fell for the current scam would have noticed that the address bar was it's normal color?
      • BCM43 16y ago
        You could put a notice on the bottom of real ones telling the user to look at the address bar.

  It is phishing after all and a clever one also. People need to be more paranoid while browsing the internet.

  What the hell kind of headline is this? It's a webpage that looks like a legitimate warning. It's basically a play on traditional phishing. Saying that it's "malware based on chrome" is fear mongering and by implication is inaccurate.
