"Chrome 79 Includes Anti-Phishing and Hacked Password Protection"

There is a new version of Chrome out, which does a better job protecting the user against phishing sites and credential stuffing attacks. The older version of Chrome protected users against phishing by checking the sites they entered their Google credentials into, against a list of known phishing sites. Google used to synchronize a list of bad sites with the browser every 30 minutes, but because sites change so quickly, that meant users could still fall victim to new sites that had come online just minutes earlier. The new version of Chrome, now performs the phishing protection in real-time, even for users with the synchronization feature turned off. Google believes that this new feature will protect users in 30% more cases. The new version will also protect all the passwords stored in the Chrome password manager rather than just Google accounts.
