Hackers are swiping Google passwords from Chrome users |
But there's action you can take to prevent it happening

Hackers are swiping passwords from Google accounts in Chrome using a method that targets the official Google sign-in page, Digital Trends reported. Discovered by researchers at OALabs, the attack locks you into the Chrome browser at the Google sign-in page, preventing an easy exit.
