If the IGB stopped working it wouldn't be a surprise to some considering how outdated it's become. another eve user has confirmed the IGB is vulnerable to several remote code execution exploits

There is a security issue with the IGB - and CCP apparently ignores it

CCP should really make an agreement with Google and get them to develop some sort of lightweight IGB based on Chrome...I'm shurrr (durrr) there could be some money involved for CCP too, since google loves to try force people (see: trick old people) to use Chrome all over the place as it is, bundling it with all kinds of stupid programs nobody wants. Except me. I want these stupid programs. And hey, you guys hear about this super cool new Chrome thing? I hear it's great!

The IGB is based on chrome. it's however just 21+ versions outdated and has enough "holes" to strain pasta.

I meant have the Chrome team actually handle the IGB development and patching, rather than leave the IGB to rot (as it is now).

If this issue occurred as a result of clicking on in game link this is potentially related to the concerns i posted in the two threads above. the in game browser has been confirmed to be vulnerable to at least one exploit in chromium that causes IGB crashes.

You may want to avoid using the IGB until a dev can comment if this issue will be fixed or addressed in a coming patch update.
