The Israeli software developer and blogger Tal Ater has released information about a vulnerability in Google's Chrome browser. Ater had discovered the vulnerability four months ago and they informed Google. Google had assured him then, to be close the gap. According Ater the leak is, however, still present, which is why he has now made ??it public.

The security hole in Chrome browser allows for logging and recording of the microphone. Web pages can be prepared so that they open a so-called pop-under window that has access to the microphone. The user himself does not realize that such a window was opened. Cyber ??criminals could then intercept private conversations over the microphone.

According to this vulnerability in the Chrome browser, contrary to the statements of Tal Ater, however, not reproducible. Instead of a pop-unders a visible pop-up window will open in the current Chrome versions simply. Danger from a hidden window no longer exists. In addition, Google is said to have already agreed to have fixed the problem a long time ago.
