Remember when Google offered up $1 million to anyone who could pose a security threat to Chrome? Looks like the company will have to pay up, but not nearly that amount.
Sergey Glazunov, a Russian student, successfully hacked a computer running a Chrome browser by using a never-before-seen exploit, reports Forbes.
Glazunov's trick bypassed the browser's "sandbox" restriction, which would normally keep a hacker out of the rest of a computer's system if he were able to break the browser.
