Forbes: Google Issues Warning For Billions Of Chrome Users
Google issued the warning on its official Chrome blog, revealing that Chrome on Windows, macOS and Linux is vulnerable to a new βzero-dayβ hack (CVE-2022-1096). Zero-day is the most dangerous form of attack because it means the vulnerability is known to hackers before Google could issue a fix. As the company admits, βGoogle is aware that an exploit for CVE-2022-1096 exists in the wild.β This means every Chrome user is vulnerable.
The issue seems to be quite serious, as it’s the only change in this build.
To force your Chrome browser to update, go to settings and there select “About Chrome”
Edit: this also affects Brave, so please update that too.
