Heads Up, Chrome Users in India: Update Now for High-Severity Security Alert!
Indian Chrome users, there’s an important security update you need to address. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) recently issued a high-severity warning about vulnerabilities in Google Chrome.
What’s the risk?
These vulnerabilities could allow attackers to remotely take control of your system, steal data, or crash your computer. The alert mentions specific technical terms like “Type Confusion” and “Out of bounds read,” but the key takeaway is this: unpatched Chrome-versions are at risk.
Are you affected?
Check your Chrome-version! If you’re using Google Chrome versions prior to:
124.0.6367.78/.79 for Windows and Mac
124.0.6367.78 for Linux
Then you need to update immediately.
Here’s how to fix it:
Luckily, Google has already released a fix! Just follow these steps:
Open Google Chrome.
Click on the three vertical dots in the top right corner.
Go to “Settings”.
Click on “About Chrome” (at the bottom of the left-hand menu).
Chrome will automatically check for updates. If an update is available, it will download and install automatically.
Once the update is complete, restart Chrome for the changes to take effect.
Stay Secure!
By keeping your Chrome updated, you’ll be better protected against these vulnerabilities and ensure a smoother browsing experience. Remember, it’s always a good practice to enable automatic updates for your software to stay on top of security patches.
