Cybersecurity researcher @UK_Daniel_Card demonstrated that Google Chrome's saved passwords can be extracted and decrypted by standard userland processes on a normal Windows 11 domain account, without elevated privileges. Chrome stores credentials in an SQLite uot;Login Datauot; file, with the master AES key

Questions.
So, this is a local on machine hack?
If so WHY not just use chrome itself, goto password manager and LOOK at the passwords.
They are all there. If you have local access then just type in the main password and you can see all the passwords.
If you have local access and dont know the main password then thats the one you need to hack. Hack that 1 password, load upi chrome then look at all passwords there.

There are MANY simple things you can do and dont need big long hacks.

Like I saw in the last few months a huge big security alert that let you access something. Oh, that sounded really bad, we need to update it and lock down the system.
Then I heard its local only...... SO..... a local user can access what is already accessable..... o....k.....

If you have the system right there, there is a HUGE chance its not locked.
Then you have access to whatever that big security flaw is.

My only Windows 11 machine is my legion go handheld and its got 0 security on it as only I use it and have access to it. But anyone coming into my house can pick it up and play games on it.
So I dont see that or any local hack as a major security threat.
Its like very limited ammount of people that these threats are a problem for.
university students in america. (worldwide universities the students are there to learn in america they are there to screw around and waste their life)
In offices, but they wont be using windows 11, they shiould be on a safer OS like windows server or linux or mac.

In the end, whatever... Windows 11 sucks, its got so many bugs and micro$oft wont fix as mostly its ai causing those bugs.
remove AI and you remove 90% of the new problems.

I just got a security system today, the ai in it is so stupid 10 mins later its back in the box.
AI RUINS EVERYTHING. Name 1 thing AI has fixed or helped us in any way?
DONT FORGET, we have been suing computers to do MANY things WAY before AI came along. We were using computer generated contrnet which is NOT AI, its computer generated A program did it NOT ai.

So, give me 1 good thing AI has actually improved on.
ALL AI chat bots are stupid. they have an inteligence of a 5yo kid, I cant believe people are so stupid they use chatgpt daily. Its the dumbest of the dumb. I asked it and meta ai 1 question. Meta ai asked me for a hint and help and it got it right in 5 tries,
chatgpt toom 25 times, got every reply wrong as it lied, it admitted it lied and kept lying. It was making up its answers. NONE of them were corrent even when I gave it a very good hint, the one meta ai got the answer from chatgpt still iied.

And I keep hearing, go ask chatgpt if you want to know the answer,
LOL, If you want a lie go ask chatgpt.
Go ask google and that ai reply is just a cutdown fversion of the actual replies you get so thats ok and that also gets it wrong when you see its ai mind trying to help and make it wrong.

AI is doing 2 things. 1, making humans dumb so we reply on AI.
and 2, making humans dumb so it can overthrow us and kill us off.
AI is a tool evil uses to destroy galaxies and this one is its latest target. AI is billions of years old and evil has already destroyed 2 galaxies using AI as the main collapse of the civisilations on the planets in that galaxy.
We are a new galaxy, 50 million years old and we only have 1 planet with life on it. (The rest you hear are evil, demons or from other glaaxies)

Anyway, whatever. Nobody reads these so it doesnt matter what say.

Ai is going to keep advancing, this year is the deadline and AI will meet it as we wont stop AI. Next year is too late and it will start the decline of the human race.
You'll see.
Thats if we dont stop AI now.
EVERYTHING AI BOYCOTT.
STOP using AI EVERYWHERE.
If you have AI on anything disable it, dont use that feature, tell the deves you dont like AI and to remove it.
If we all get together and do that we will win and save humanity.
But when have the sheeple listened to smart people?
Look at covid, nobody listened and all got the vax, lots died, lots keep dying of stupid shit and us, the "conspiracy theorists" are all still alive watching you get sick and die daily.
"We told you so, you didnt listen, so when you come begging for a cure, there is none. Death is your only cure so enjoy"

Yea, I know. I see them daily and most go to hell as they dont repent.
If youve had the vax, repent and you might save your soul. If not, you'll go to hell.
reason, the vax modifies you dna. (and? so?)
your no longer in Gods image so your denided access to heaven.
If you repend he will grant you access.
I tell those souls who die daily they shoudlve listened and they had their chance to repent. They didnt so I have no choice but to send them to hell.

Its not nice, but someone has to do it.

REPENT NOW. CHOSE GOD.
THERE IS NO TIME LEFT. DO IT NOW.

I think the point is, any user-level process can do this.
That means, someone (a pluging author, a malicious site owner, linkedin, facebook, the goverment, steam, a pc game, any software the user can run literally) can cause your browser to download some code, run in it locally in the background and steal all your passwords.
This is the last nail the coffin for Chrome, I suppose - not that I use it though.
