Google has unveiled support for the V8 Sandbox in its Chrome web browser, aiming to combat memory corruption issues. According to Samuel Groß, the V8 Security technical lead, the sandbox prevents the spread of memory corruption within the host process. 

Described as a lightweight, in-process sandbox for the JavaScript and WebAssembly engine, the V8 Sandbox mitigates common vulnerabilities. It restricts V8 code execution to a subset of the process's virtual address space, isolating it from the rest of the process to limit vulnerability impact. These vulnerabilities have comprised a significant portion of Google's addressed zero-day vulnerabilities, with up to 16 security flaws discovered between 2021 and 2023.

Wiper Malware is malicious software that can cause severe damage to your computer. It is a type of malware that can delete or corrupt data, rendering it useless. Unlike ransomware, Wiper Malware does not encrypt your files and demand a ransom to decrypt them. Instead, it destroys the key to unlock the files, making it impossible to recover the data. It can also modify the data on your computer by changing the contents to 1's and 0's, making it unreadable. As a result, this can cause permanent damage to your system and can lead to the loss of important data.

It is important to take precautions to avoid getting infected with Wiper Malware. Firstly, never click on any unsafe links, especially those sent from unknown sources. These links could lead you to malicious websites or automatically download the malware.
