Nada nesse mundo é 100% seguro, incluindo os Chromebooks. Muitos modelos desses notebooks usam um Trusted Platform Module (TPM), que gera as chaves de encriptação para proteção dos dados locais. E, por incrível que pareça, é aí que reside o mais recente problema do sistema operacional da Google.
Pesquisadores de segurança descobriram um bug em algumas versões do firmware do Infineon TPM, o que permite que usuários mal intencionados obtenham dados encriptados dos Chromebooks. O ataque é limitado, pois levaria aproximadamente 140 anos para que uma única chave fosse quebrada.
A lista de Chromebooks afetados incluem basicamente todos os modelos que usam o chip Infineon TPM mais recente. A seguir, a lista completa:

Se você tem um dos modelos acima, verifique o firmware do TPM de seu equipamento, digitando “chrome://system” (sem as aspas) e procurar (CTRL + F) por TPM na página.
As versões de software vulneráveis são as seguintes:
000000000000041f – 4.31
0000000000000420 – 4.32
0000000000000628 – 6.40
0000000000008520 – 133.32
Por conta disso, a atualização do firmware exige a remoção completa de todos os dados, e essa atualização leva aproximadamente um minuto.
Mais informações sobre esse procedimento podem ser encontradas nesse link.
