Failure Pattern
Even after the browser updates or patches vulnerabilities, stolen sessions or tokens remain valid.
User Impact
The user thinks “I updated Chrome, why am I still breached?”
Underlying Causes
No change to underlying session mechanics
Old tokens remain valid
No hardware-bound trust
Trust-Native Resolution
Session resets require TrustKey revalidation, instantly killing impersonation even after compromise.
Broken Trust Assumption
Many of the most damaging breaches of the past decade occurred in environments that were fully authenticated, encrypted, and compliant.
Incidents including SolarWinds, NotPetya, Capital One, and MOVEit show a consistent pattern: attackers succeeded by inheriting trust, not by breaking it. Security controls validated access, but not intent.
