Google has released urgent security updates for Google Chrome to address a critical zero-day
The UAE's Cyber Security Council alerted Google Chrome users of a security update on Thursday. Google has released urgent updates for Chrome users to address a critical zero-day.
A critical zero-day is when a security flaw has been discovered in software or hardware and vendors or developers might be unaware of it, due to which no fix is available. This makes it vulnerable to exploitation by malicious actors.
