Google’s Chrome Is Under Attack, Update Your Browser Now To Be Safe

Google has informed users its Chrome browser is under attack after hackers found two weak points to hack users. The tech company is advising users to check that they are currently running the latest version of the chrome browser.

You can simply click on the “About Google Chrome” button right there in the help section of the browser. The silicon valley based company says the update will be available to users in the coming days/weeks depending on your region.
