Google has recently released updates intended to protect against these types of attacks and prevent data from potentially being compromised on Chromium-based browsers like Chrome. The latest developments have additionally uncovered possible attack vectors or types that attempt to compromise the potentially personal or confidential data stored on any website(s) and/or browser extension(s), regardless of site or extension provider. As emerging research developed this year across the industry, we actively worked with Google’s Chromium Site Isolation Team to better understand any potential impact on browser-based password managers. Spectre had the capacity to affect any website or browser-based extension running on potentially impacted hardware.Īt that time, LogMeIn immediately began investigating and taking measures designed to limit the impact of Spectre.
This vulnerability was shown to have the potential to break the isolation between running applications and allow data to be stolen from programs that are simultaneously being run on a computer.
In 2018, a third-party hardware vulnerability, called Spectre, was discovered that affects most modern central processing units (or “processors” for short).
