Google Chrome users urged to install important update after security threat discovered

Google has issued an important update in Chrome to fix a security issue recently uncovered within the browser that could leave users vulnerable to hacking attempts.

Although the search giant has not yet released specific details on the bug in order to prevent it being exploited by hackers, the previously undiscovered security flaw could leave users open to malicious attacks. Such attacks could involve access to protected memory, causing a crash or running harmful code.

The bug was discovered by Google's Threat Analysis Group (TAG) on November 29, 2022, The Mirror reports. Google has now been forced to issue a fresh security update to fix the flaw, just days after releasing a new patch for the browser which contained fixes for 28 other security issues.
