Chrome flags malicious commands that scammers pass off as fixes
Google is updating Chrome’s Enhanced Protection mode to detect scam websites and warn users when a page tricks them into copying a malicious command. The company introduced Enhanced Protection for Chrome’s Safe Browsing feature in 2020 to address online scams and social engineering. Google says further updates have made its users ten times safer from phishing, social engineering, notification abuse, and other scams compared with those using Standard Protection.
