Hello, I have a question regarding maxis latest data breach
A few days ago I got the phishing message from maxis about the points thing, that the rootkit people sent
Just to be safe, I used a vpn and opened the link on incognito on my mac.
I got a dangerous website warning from chrome and so I wanted to go back but accidentally clicked on go ahead or something. The scam site didn’t load, don’t remember the warning but it said some chrome error
I immedia back, to get to safety
This was when chrome crashed on my for the first time since I got the mac
I had bitdefender installed and nothing popped up, when I reopened chrome it was it was not shut down properly, but seemed to be working fine
Is it possible that a rootkit script or sql injection could have taken place in that few seconds the website was open? Causing chrome to crash?
I know I sound paranoid, but they seem to be many people who have lost money somehow to theses fake websites
I do not know what else to do, and I recently sold my IDS/IPS system because I had no hits for the 6 months I owned it
Regretting my decision now
just loading a website shouldnt exactly breach you since there are many safety features like sandboxing built into chromeA few days ago I got the phishing message from maxis about the points thing, that the rootkit people sent

yes 0 day vurnabilities do exist but it doesnt seem like they are the kind to have those
the crash may have just been a coincidence
but cant rule out the possibility of an attempt at breaching
but as long as you keep chrome up to data it should be ok
rootkit... those have gone out of fashion a long time ago, plus you are on a mac
sql injection... you are not running/hosting a database on your machine, this is not something that affects you
sql injection is where an attacker injects commands when inputting data, like say they enter a username but also a command alongside it, and your system processes the command as well, but again, sql is for a database
based on what ive seen around
how they get your money is they want you to login to your bank, one twitter post says they ended up landing at a page to authorize a 2k transaction
no idea if they are using a real or fake bank page, either way they are interested in your bank details
as long as you didnt type your details in you're fine
nowdays most malware are interested in your data and money
