California: Technology giant Google has warned millions of Chrome users to update their browsers after it flagged a cyber attack. According to the company, a cyber attack can allow hackers to gain control of users’ computers.
Google warned that cybercriminals are using malicious pop-up windows or websites to gain access to users’ private information.
The major update released by the company has fixed the flaw in the browser which users can access by going to the settings section of the Google Chrome browser.
According to Google, this flaw in an early version of Chrome allowed cyber attackers to attack a user’s device via an HTML page. However, the company did not clearly mention the defect.
Usually, when a fake HTML page appears on the screen, it looks like a normal website, but after the user clicks on it, hackers can take over the computer and steal information.
These HTML pages can also appear as pop-ups and ask users to download the latest antivirus software or browser, but instead download software that hackers can use to infect users. Steal data.
