Issue descriptionVULNERABILITY DETAILS Hi Team, I am a freelancer who works on several freelancing platform. The other day, I got a file from an unknown person, who said that he wanted me to work on it. It was a screensaver file. At the moment, I was unable to comprehend the amount of money. It would cost me. What happened was that, I opened the file, it was a screensaver file. Nothing happened on screen. Windows defender didn’t pick it as a virus/Trojan/malware. After 2 days, My Payoneer was hacked and I lost $2644 to the hacker, or whoever he was. He had established the startup of the file in Windows and also duplicated the file on various locations. I was very disappointed to know that what that hacker got hold of was a ChromePass.key type of file. He got away with it. I don't know what level of encryption you people use, that he used that file and got hold of my several account details, which resulted in my huge hard-earned monetary loss. I am very disappointed in Google's encryption methods. Romia Javaid VERSION Chrome Version: Version 59.0.3071.109 (Official Build) (64-bit) Operating System: Windows 10 Professional-64-bit
