Update Your Google Chrome Browser Immediately: Indian Govt Issues Warning; Here's How To Enable Automatic Updates

Google Chrome Update: India's cybersecurity watchdog, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), has identified several vulnerabilities in the widely-used Google Chrome web browser. A fresh security alert has been issued for billions of Chrome users across all platforms—except iOS. These newly uncovered flaws could potentially be exploited by hackers, posing significant risks to user data and devices. 

"Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Google Chrome which could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service (DoS) condition on the targeted system," the CERT-In team asserted. 

Google Chrome Affected Version:

The vulnerabilities impact Google Chrome versions below 132.0.6834.110/111 on Windows and Mac, and versions below 132.0.6834.110 on Linux. Users running these versions are advised to update their browser immediately to avoid potential security risks and protect their devices and data from possible exploitation. This alert is critical for all individuals and organisations that use Google Chrome on their computers, whether they are running Windows, macOS, or Linux operating systems.
