Google Chrome: 5 New Security Flaws
It was recently discovered that Google Chrome has 5 major security issues which Google themselves classified as βhighβ, with one in particular being labeled as βcriticalβ. As such, itβs recommended to get your browser updated as soon as possible.
To give you an idea as to how dangerous some of these security flaws are, the high-rated vulnerabilities are being exploited actively by hackers, as they can attack the browserβs JavaScript engine and run their own code on your PC. Essentially, that gives them free reign to run malicious programs on your PC and there wouldnβt be anything to stop them.
