What happened
This collection of Google/Chrome security posts describes multiple platform- and ecosystem-level hardening efforts rather than single exploit disclosures. Key points: Chrome is pursuing scalable, quantum-resistant HTTPS via Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs) in collaboration with the IETF PLANTS working group and will not immediately add PQ X.509 roots to the Chrome Root Store; the CA/Browser Forum and Chrome Root Program are deprecating legacy Domain Control Validation (DCV) methods with full effect by March 2028. Android protections were expanded across several fronts: upgraded AI-driven scam/c
