According to the reports of security vendor McAfee, the Chrome OS will be able to remain its leading position in the list of the most targeted software in 2010.
But Sam Masiello, the director of threat management at McAfee, said that the search engine would become the goal of hackers even before it was officially launched. Also he predicted that the OS would undergo hard times. “It’ll be the new kid on the block, that’s one of the primary drivers why we think cybercriminals will target Chrome OS. The same thing happened to Windows Vista and Windows 7, even before they were finished,” he said.
As Chrome is considered to be a new comer of the operating system domain, it will be able to grasp the eyeballs of security researchers and, moreover, it can induce hackers to try to break is security shell.
Also the operating system relies on the HTML 5. Due to such technology one can replace the existing sets of media plug-ins with some cutting-edge features that creators are able to build into websites.
