Google Chrome's new autofill feature can now store sensitive information like passports and vehicle IDs, making form-filling faster. However, experts warn that this could increase risks if a user's Google account is compromised, as all that data is concentrated in one place. The cybersecurity community advises against storing sensitive information in browsers due to rising malware threats.

Over 149 million stolen usernames and passwords were discovered online, affecting platforms like TikTok, Netflix, and several financial services. The data leak, found by cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler, highlights the risks of infostealer malware and the importance of password security.
