Sep 7, 2016 at 21:53 comment added Neil Smithline @SarpSTA - at least to me, the OP seems to be focused on spreading malicious intent via Chrome sync. That is, an attacker gets control of one browser and sets some data that will be synced. This data will then infect other synced browsers on different computers. So that's what I focused my answer on. There is no doubt that there is lots of confidential data in your browser (eg: passwords, session cookies, data on web pages) that would be very bad to let fall into the wrong hands. But I think that's a different question.
