If You Use Google Chrome Update It Now<\/h1>\n

A vulnerability has recently been discovered in Google Chrome that puts users at risk. If you use Chrome, it’s important that you take a couple minutes to make sure it’s updated to the most current version. The discovery of this Chrome vulnerability prompted this post on The Hacker News’ site:<\/p>\n

According to “The Hacker News<\/a><\/span>“:<\/p>\n

If you use Google Chrome you must\u00a0update it now.<\/p>\n

Security researcher Micha\u0142 Bentkowski discovered and reported a high severity vulnerability in Google Chrome in late May, affecting the web browsing software for all major operating systems including Windows, Mac, and Linux.<\/p>\n

Without revealing any technical detail about the vulnerability, the Chrome security team described the issue as incorrect handling of CSP header (CVE-2018-6148) in a blog post<\/a><\/span> published today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Chrome updates automatically. But if you haven’t restarted Chrome for a while, you may not have the update yet. You can find out if you have the most recent update a couple of ways.<\/p>\n

Type (or copy and paste) chrome:\/\/settings\/help into Chrome’s address bar.<\/p>\n

You’ll see this:<\/p>\n

If you’re copy of Chrome is up to date, you’ll see “Google Chrome is up to date” (see screenshot).<\/p>\n

If your copy of Chrome is not up-to-date you’ll see a notice that Chrome is almost up-to-date and you’ll need restart Chrome to update it to the current version. You’ll see a restart link.<\/p>\n

You can also click the 3 vertical dot icon at the top right in Chrome, and in the drop-down menu click “Help”, “About Google Chrome”.<\/p>\n

You can also tell at a glance if Chrome has an update pending. If you don’t see the 3 vertical dots but see a colored icon instead, you know you have an update pending. The color of the icon matters:<\/p>\n
