Description of the issue: This is more of a question about how brave works than a support request – mods, feel free to move it if it belongs somewhere else.
I use brave on my personal devices (mac, iOS) and on my work computer (windows) and sync history, favs, etc. between them (but importantly, my tabs are not synced). Today, my work IT department informed me that a virus was detected in the folder Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\Cache\Cache_Data
on my work computer. I’m pretty sure that I didn’t visit any dubious website at work, but less sure about the personal devices.
So I would like to know: assuming this virus detection is not a false positive, could it have come from my personal devices? Does sync influence the content of the browser cache?
I mean, I don’t want to test that thouroughly to find out.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3. –
Reproduces how often: once
Brave Version: lastest as far as I can tell (don’t have all devices at hand).
Type of devices currently running on the Sync chain in question: Win10, macos 11, iOS 15.
