Just had the TH web page freeze up with a panic-inducing pop-up.
"Google Chrome Critical Error!"
This is followed by spooky sounding warnings that about attempts to access my bank accounts. It then offers what purports to be a Microsoft Support phone number.
All very suspicious.
I've only seen this the one time. Though there haven't been any ill consequences I thought I'll let others know so they won't be caught off guard.
