There’s an exploit in Google’s popular Chrome browser that can allow hackers to listen in to a user’s offline conversation through their computer’s microphone even after the tab has been closed. The exploit lies in Chrome’s microphone settings, if a website is given permission to use the device’s microphone in Chrome, it can easily use a pop-up window to keep accessing the microphone and even record while being hidden in the background. Closing the tab will have no effect on the pop-up window’s ability to listen in.
