New Attack Methods Enable Malware to Hijack Passkey-Protected Accounts

Researchers at Palo Alto Networks have found ways to attack Google's implementation of synced passkeys, allowing malware to take control of protected accounts. This discovery indicates a potential vulnerability in passkey protection. The attacks target Google's specific implementation of passkey syncing. Malware can hijack accounts that are supposedly secure due to passkey protection. The findings suggest that passkey-protected accounts may not be as secure as previously thought.
