Malware That Steals Your Saved Browser Passwords | Compute This

If you let Chrome or Edge remember your passwords, this is the week to pay attention. A fast-spreading strain of "password stealer" malware is raiding saved logins straight out of the browser, and it is getting in through a fake "click to fix" popup that looks harmless. Thor breaks down how the attack works, why it can walk right past two-factor authentication, and the one simple thing that actually stops it.

From there it is a full slate of the tech that hits your wallet and your peace of mind. Thor gets into the real cost of skipping a laptop warranty, why hard drive prices are climbing again, and the AI story everyone is talking about: a famous life coach's AI assistant that went and bought itself a robot dog. Whether you are protecting your data, shopping for a new machine, or just trying to keep up with where AI is going, there is something here for you.

In this episode:
- A new wave of malware that steals passwords saved in Chrome and Edge, and the fake popup that lets it in
- Why stolen saved passwords can slip past two-factor, and why any antivirus beats none
- The $500 hard drive: a Papillion laptop owner's repair bill and the warranty decision behind it
