The United Arab Emirates Cybersecurity Council issued a critical security alert today, urging all Google Chrome users in the country to update their browsers to the latest version (123.0) as soon as possible.
The council identified several “high-risk vulnerabilities” within Chrome that could allow attackers to infiltrate user systems and run malicious code. This poses a significant threat to user privacy and data security, potentially leading to breaches, leaks, or other harmful activities.
“Updating to the latest version of Google Chrome is essential to safeguard against these threats,” the council emphasized. Upgrading Chrome significantly reduces the risk of such attacks and helps protect personal information.
Google recently released Chrome 123.0, which includes crucial security patches alongside new features. The council strongly advises all users to update their browsers.
Here’s how to update Google Chrome on Desktop:
- Open Google Chrome.
- Click the menu button (three dots) in the top right corner.
- Select “Help” and then “About Chrome.”
- This page will automatically check for updates and download them if available.
- Once downloaded, restart Chrome to complete the update.
By following these steps and keeping Chrome updated, users can significantly improve their online security posture.
