In a shocking discovery, it turns out that Google’s Chrome, the browser we all trust to handle everything from sensitive work emails to those impulse Etsy purchases at 2 AM, had a secret flaw. This chink in Chrome’s armor was so severe it required a CVE score of 8.3, possibly because the committee hadn’t invented a higher number yet. The vulnerability was a sandbox escape, which sounds like something an overenthusiastic toddler would attempt, but in reality, it was a playground for espionage.

Enter LeetAgent Spyware, an Italian masterpiece courtesy of Memento Labs — because who better to orchestrate clandestine cyber ops than a company whose name means ‘Remember’? It’s unclear whether Memento Labs specializes in memory lapses or poetic justice, but their spyware has been described as being smoother than an acapella group of olive oil salesmen.

Kaspersky, always the life of the cybersecurity party, uncovered this scheme and heroically sounded the alarm. The Russians are again saving the day, naturally, since facing their own threats has given them a PhD in spotting digital misdemeanors. Now thanks to Kaspersky, Memento Labs can reminisce about the good old days when they weren’t publicly outed for tinkering inside Chrome’s zero-day escapist fantasy.
