Security Dents Chrome
September 4, 2008
InfoWeek, now an online only publication, published Early Security Issues Tarnish Google’s Chrome” on September 3, 2008. Nancy Gohring has gathered a number of Chrome security issues. You can read the full text of her article here. She catalogs hacker threats, malicious code, Java vulnerabilities, and more. For me, the most interesting statement in the story was:
Google did not directly address questions about this [file download] vulnerability or whether it plans to make any changes to Chrome to prevent any potential problems.
This “no comment” and “indirection” clashes with Google’s transparency push. When I read this sentence is Ms. Gohring’s article, I wondered why journalists don’t confront Google about its slither away and ignore approach to important questions. Transparency? I see a magician’s finesse at work.
What do your perceive?
