Google Announces Cyber Threat in Chrome

If you use Google Chrome as your web browser, please be aware that your data may be at risk of being stolen.



Google published an alert informing billions of Chrome browser users that they may have been successfully targeted by hackers, listing 30 security issues, seven of which were classified as "High" risk.

According to the company's announcement, an update will be released in the coming days to solve the bugs that leave you at risk, which affect Windows, macOS, and Linux users.

It's unknown who is responsible of the hacking, or whether any users' privacy was jeopardized.

Further attack data are presently being withheld by Google "until the bulk of customers have been updated with a patch," according to the company.

They will keep limits in place if the flaw is in a third-party library that other projects rely on but haven't resolved yet, the business added.

Users of Chrome can manually upgrade their browsers via the settings menu, although the browsers will update automatically in a few days. Click the three dots in the upper right corner of the browser and scroll down to locate options.
