THE RISE OF BROWSER BASED CREDENTIAL THEFT
Modern web browsers like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge have become essential tools for internet users, offering features such as password storage to enhance user convenience. These credentials are stored in an encrypted format, leveraging the Data Protection API (DPAPI) to safeguard sensitive information. Despite these security measures, hackers have developed sophisticated techniques to bypass these protections and access stored credentials.
