Google fixes critical security flaw in Chrome update

Google has released an important update for Chrome users to address a serious security issue. The latest version, 134.0.6998.117/.118, helps protect against a vulnerability that could let attackers run harmful code on your computer. This critical flaw, known as CVE-2025-2476, was discovered by a cybersecurity expert. It allows attackers to exploit a memory error in Chrome when users visit a specially designed malicious web page. This means that just opening one of these harmful pages can put your sensitive information, like passwords and credit card details, at risk. The latest Chrome update is being rolled out for Windows, Mac, and Linux users over the coming days. Users are encouraged to update their browsers as soon as possible to stay safe from these threats. To update Chrome, users can click on the three-dot icon in the top right corner, go to Help, and select "About Google Chrome." The new version will automatically download and install, and a simple restart of the browser will complete the process. Staying up to date with browser security is crucial to protect personal data and prevent malware infections.
