Update your Google Chrome browser today to be safe from bugs

Google chrome is the world’s most popular browser. Almost 70 per cent people around the globe are using the Chrome browser. But if you have not updated your browser in the past few days then please do it right now.

The tech giant identified three security holes or ‘bugs’ in its system. In a blog post, the company revealed hackers had exploited one of three bugs in the latest version of Chrome. However, the company hasn’t said how the attacks are being carried out.

The vulnerability is being used to target Chrome users, so it’s you should update your browser as soon as possible. But the bad news is you can update only the Windows, Mac, and Linux versions of Chrome have been updated so far. Android, iOS and Chromebook users will have to wait for their patches.

The bugs affect the ability of the browser to check and run Javascript, leaving it open to malicious code, reported LifeHacker.
