Spork3245 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 This sounds like less of a GPU vulnerability and more of a Chrome security flaw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It creates a malicious iframe that sends the data of your chrome tabs to a hacker. However, to my understanding the capture is slow and you’d need to keep the tab of the page causing the iframe up while you entered any data that a hacker could benefit from (actually for like 15-20 minutes after you entered the info), and for passwords, obfuscation would need to be disabled (so it shows your actual password when you enter it and not asterisks) as this hack is basically a mirror of part of your browser screen and not a key logger.
