Google Chrome Users Warned By Indian Govt About Major Security Issue
India’s cybersecurity watchdog, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (Cert-In), has issued a serious warning about several vulnerabilities found in Google Chrome. They are urging all Chrome users in India to update their browsers with the latest security patches released earlier this month.
Cert-In recommends updating to Chrome versions 127.0.6533.99/.100 for Windows and Mac, and 127.0.6533.99 for Linux, to avoid potential security issues. Users should be particularly cautious about clicking on suspicious emails or downloading files from untrustworthy sources.
Additionally, Cert-In has warned users of Android smartphones with Qualcomm and MediaTek chipsets running Android versions 12, 12L, 13, and 14 about similar vulnerabilities.
Apple users have also been advised to be aware of multiple security issues affecting iPhones, iPads, Macs, and other devices. Google has confirmed that the security update is already available for Windows and Mac users, with Linux users expected to receive it soon.
