While this feature was designed to streamline the payment process, it has inadvertently attracted the attention of cybercriminals and infostealer developers.

White Snake, a well-known malware in the cybersecurity community, has swiftly adapted to this new opportunity.

Users are advised to exercise caution when storing sensitive information in their browsers and consider alternative methods for managing payment details, such as dedicated password managers or secure payment platforms. 

Cybersecurity experts recommend that users regularly update their security software and remain vigilant for suspicious activity on their accounts.

Google is expected to address this vulnerability in future updates, but until then, users must take proactive steps to protect their financial information.
