I can think of at least a dozen easier ways to do nefarious things with this level of access that are at least that simple. As an example, faking user attribution would be trivial.
How could Google patch this? If the client is compromised and the attacker can manipulate the local TPM or it's equivalent there's no defense.
Huh? If you have this level of local privileges you can just read session cookies from the browsers store? I guess stealing all the keys is notable, but you can manipulate any password manager with this level of access right?
What's the threat model here, that synced passkeys should be secure in even in situations involving compromised clients? How?
One of the recent updates:
>Starting at 14:44 UTC on 23 July, 2026, customers may have experienced intermittent connectivity failures, increased latency, or difficulty accessing Azure services in West US region. Customers with traffic traversing the West US region may also experience downstream impact. Impacted services include, but are not limited to:
>API Management, Application Gateway, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), ExpressRoute Circuits, ExpressRoute Gateways, Network Infrastructure, Power BI Embedded, Virtual WAN, VPN Gateway
>We have identified a potential trigger and are isolating certain impacted devices and redirecting portions of traffic to healthier devices as part of a mitigation plan. We are actively monitoring traffic patterns and service recovery. We will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of mitigation, assess customer impact, and investigate contributing factors. We will provide additional information as soon as it becomes available.
Moral of the story: be careful what your AI assistant reads, it could be controlled by an attacker and contain hypnotic suggestions.
The current Scrabble score-card is close, but it would be nice to have a per-round score and a running total as columns.

>15 minutes phone call to decide to file for bankruptcy and for them to take their money back (and then some) and shut down my company
What? In no world would that happen. Even a mostly failed company has quite a bit more value than $0.
No mention of the name of the company or even the vertical. 100% BS.
Great info, thanks for posting!
