Tech support scammers find new way to jam Google Chrome
You mean people fall for this crap still?
"If it ain't broke don't fix it."
oh, you can be sure but the scary thing is "they" found a trick/exploit in chrome
Yeah hanging the browser is bad no matter how you look at it.

Patched in Chrome today.
Like the vibrating ads on mobiles. Why was that API even allowed? The only use I ever encountered was by the malicious ads.
Firefox and Brave are affected as well according to their update. Might want to change the title [mention]intense[/mention].Update (2) (2018-02-07): Firefox and Brave seem to be affected by this bug as well (both vendors were informed).
I guess it makes sense with low awareness still about these scams especially if you completely freeze the browser and jam the PC.
