Google announced that it will soon block login attempts from embedded browser frameworks in an effort to prevent man-in-the-middle (MitM) phishing attacks.
The tech giant says phishing attacks that involve traffic interception are difficult to detect when an embedded browser framework or a different type of automation platform is used for authentication.
As an example of an embedded browser framework Google provided its Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF), which is designed for embedding Chromium-based browsers in other applications.
