Comment on Google Chrome security flaw offers unrestricted password access

Comments

It amazes me that some of the security professionals are sufficiently out of touch that they don't see this as an issue. The adversary in this case is the casual non-technical observer who might have a minute to click around but not install software to extract anything, it is not "hackers".

The adversary that can be trivially defeated by entering Meta+L before walking away from your desk, or by not allowing untrusted randoms around your console?
