The zero-day vulnerability in Google Chrome was exploited earlier this year in an incident referred to as Operation ForumTroll. This operation was significant as it involved malware delivery connected to Memento Labs, an Italian spyware vendor. Memento Labs emerged after the infamous Hacking Team was acquired by IntheCyber Group, making this connection noteworthy.
This incident underscores the ongoing risks associated with browser vulnerabilities and the potential for malicious actors to exploit such weaknesses. Zero-day attacks are particularly dangerous as they can occur without any prior warning or available fixes, leading to serious consequences for affected users. The link to a well-known spyware vendor raises additional concerns about the implications for privacy and security on a larger scale.
