' the user has to explicitly grant permission. Here is a completely unedited new video using the latest version of Chrome Canary (v 34) released today. It was recorded in 1 take, and then edited to replace my heavily accented voice with narration by my native English speaking friend. This specific hack was fixed in the latest version of Chrome, but unfortunately other ways to open pop-under windows from Chrome still exist.

The pop-under code used in the video was js-popunder, which opens hidden background windows. ' How did the pop-under appear without triggering Chrome's default popup blocker? ' I'd like to respond to a few of the comments. Tal Ater Smack-Fu Master, in training jump to post.Until then, readers should remain highly wary. Yes, most operating systems provide ways to restrict mic and camera functions, but those software-driven mechanisms are probably more susceptible to hacking bypasses. A physical switch on a computer would give many users the ease of mind that their conversations and other private moments aren't being captured. Stories like these demonstrate a major shortcoming in almost all computer and smartphone hardware available today-specifically that there is no hard switch to turn on and off microphones and video cameras. Sites with permission to access your computer microphone will appear, along with a way to delete or modify the setting. From there, click on the 'manage exceptions' box under the Media section. When in doubt, check which sites already have permission by navigating to Chrome settings > show advanced settings > and then clicking the 'content settings' box in the privacy section. Users would also do well to place little reliance in the red blinking light and any icons Chrome uses to indicate that sounds are being captured.

Even through Chrome has been a target at Pwn2Own for the past two years, not one contestant has successfully exploited the browser.In his blog post, Ater said he alerted Google to the underlying vulnerabilities on September 13. Google's generous offer is likely an indication of their confidence that Chrome can't be hacked, and they may be right.

They've upped the ante, offering a large cash prize of $20,000 to anybody who can hack a Windows 7 machine in the Chrome web browser by 'popping the browser and escaping the sandbox using vulnerabilities purely present in Google-written code.' Chrome is the only one of the four browsers that uses a 'sandbox', a security mechanism for separating running programs, in order to prevent malware from escaping and contaminating the computer. Even the savviest of web nerds shied away, despite the the hefty $10,000 prize offered to crack Chrome's sandbox.
