Anyone who uses the Windows or Mac computers of the popular browser Google Chrome (not apps) he needs to make sure his software has the latest update or he risks being attacked by hackers.

Google has released an emergency patch that fixes a major “security hole.” The serious security flaw discovered by Avast’s cybersecurity experts is so serious it has been classified “zero day” (“zero day”) which essentially means that it is very likely that the vulnerability in the software is already known to cybercriminals and exploited accordingly.

The fact that this vulnerability was labeled as a “zero-day” is why Google moved so quickly to push the update, it shouldn’t be ignored as once installed on computers, it will close “the window” to hackers . It is now vital for all users to check their devices and make sure things are updated to the latest version.
