Important notice for Google users, what you should do to avoid attacks

Google Chrome users have been asked to update their web browser now after a number of new security issues were discovered. Experts found seven defects which the technology giant has rated as 'high' risk. In total, eight hidden dangers were exposed. Google doesn't go into much detail about what the vulnerabilities entail. This is to avoid providing hackers with all the data they need to take advantage of it. So Google only provides basic details until it is satisfied that most machines are up to date. Google said:

"Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until most users are updated with a fix. We will also keep restrictions if the bug exists in a third-party library that other projects similarly depend on , but they haven't been fixed yet."

What we do know is that it affects passwords. Most users have set Chrome to download and install updates automatically. But if you're not sure, it's best to check to be sure.

Updating Google Chrome is easy no matter what device you're using.

First, open Chrome and then click More in the upper right corner.

Now click Help > About Google Chrome.
