"Why not? This is highly specialized research that not even well-paid Google employees were able to do."
Correction: not even well-paid Google employees did. They may yet be able, and an existence proof may be all the help they need to find and fix it. Don't give up hope yet.
- sswam 15y agoI can fix it right now. Delete the flash player - problem solved. Chrome still works.
- leif 15y agoSadly, one aspect of security is psychological acceptability. If nobody will do the secure thing, it's not secure.
- watty 15y agoI don't see how Flash can be the culprit or solution considering it is sandboxed. Chrome must contain a massive exploit.
- leif 15y agoI thought the point was that they broke the sandboxing.
- daeken 15y agoThere's absolutely no evidence that this has anything to do with Flash. In fact, even if it was via Flash, there would still have to be another vulnerability to escape the Chrome sandbox, which could very likely be exploited via other means.
