Google Chrome Vulnerability Found. Use a VPN

A cyber security firm, Imperva Red, discovered a vulnerability in Google Chrome and Chromium-based browsers that posed a risk to the data of 2.5 billion users. It was caused by the browser not properly checking if symlinks were pointing to accessible locations. Google addressed the issue with Chrome 108 and users should keep their software up to date to protect themselves against similar vulnerabilities.

How Do We Protect Ourselves From The Chrome Vulnerability?

  • Use a VPN!

  • Update Your Chrome Browsers.

  • Be Careful of The Sites You Visit.

Special Thanks to Christian for alerting us to this problem.
