News Update your google chrome/edge browsers (Please read) (1 Viewer)

[Sourcekeeper]

Google issued the warning on its official Chrome blog, revealing that Chrome on Windows, macOS and Linux is vulnerable to a new ‘zero-day’ 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, “Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2022-1096 exists in the wild.” This means every Chrome user is vulnerable.

Google is currently restricting information about the exploit to buy time for Chrome users to upgrade. At the time of publication, all the company has revealed is the threat level (“High”), the area of attack and who discovered it (it was an anonymous tip-off):

• High - CVE-2022-1096: Type Confusion in V8. Reported by anonymous on 2022-03-23

How to update your browsers.

To update your browser, just follow the guides on this website.

Update browser. How to update my browser on my phone or computer (whatismybrowser.com)

Please update if you are using chromium based browsers like Edge, Chrome, Vivaldi & Brave. (I know edge and chrome have already release patches for them.)

Please relaunch your browser after updating as the patch will not be applied until after you restart.

At this point the vulnerability could be anything as no information on it has been released, for example, it could possibly result in account theft or credit card info theft if left unpatched.

Stay safe
