Atlanta Buckhead Midtown: Chrome Browser
URGENT UPDATE NEEDED - Now!
In Atlanta Buckhead Midtown and the Westside, browsing safely on the web is crucial. When the Browsing Site itself identifies threats -- URGENT UPDATE needed immediately. Chrome can only protect your computer if the LATEST version of the Browser is in use.
NOTE: Before beginning the UPDATE:
Remember to save any web pages or online work. For the "patch" to take effect, the browser must restart. When it restarts, previously unsaved work may be lost.
Steps to reach the the latest version, 98.0.4758.102:
- Open the Chrome browser on your desktop computer.
- Click the three stacked dots in the upper right corner (the menu).
- Hover over Help at the bottom and click on About Google Chrome.
If an update is found when you follow those steps, Chrome automatically does one of two things: if your version is not most current, Chrome will automatically update it. If your current version is the most recent, you will see this confirmation appear on your screen.
According to Kim Komando, this is the first "zero-day" exploit for Chrome in 2022. It is known as CVE-2022-0609, and, as explained in the patch notes for version 98.0.4758.102, the breaching method “exists in the wild” meaning that hackers, aware of the flaw, have already used it to launch cyberattacks."
"The only information available [from Chrome] confirms it’s a 'Use after free in Animation' bug, reported by Adam Weidemann and Clément Lecigne of Google’s Threat Analysis Group.
"According to the Vulnerability Database (VulDB), the bug uses an unknown input that 'leads to a memory corruption vulnerability, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability.' "
Maintaining high cyber-security standards at all times is essential for everything we do on our computers and other devices.
