Google chrome will warn you of mitm attacks

MITM (Man-in-the-middle) attacks are a type of attack whereby hackers use software that puts them in the middle of a connection. In this way they can capture, monitor and even modify the traffic between the source and the destination. And so collect the information between the connections. So the user's privacy is clearly affected.

Google Chrome will alert you to MITM attacks

Although it is becoming increasingly difficult to carry out these types of attacks, they still occur. Luckily, there are more and more tools that fight against them. And Google Chrome is the last of them. One of the latest browser security enhancements focuses on protecting us against MITM attacks.

New security measures in Google Chrome

This new security measure against MITM attacks will arrive with the new version of Google Chrome. This is version 63 that will reach users on December 5. The operation of this measure is based on the fact that when there are too many errors in SSL connections in a short period of time, the browser will show you a warning on the screen. This notice informs you that you may be under attack.

In addition, this notice in Google Chrome will skip whether it is malware or malicious software or an antivirus. Anything that is causing problems with SSL connections will be considered a threat.

Google has been looking for a while to increase the security of Google Chrome and measures like this undoubtedly help this to happen. Now we just have to wait until December 5 for this new feature against MITM attacks to be available. What do you think of this function?
