Google has issued an urgent warning to Chrome users across the UK and the rest of the world. The alert comes after a worrying flaw was found within the web browser.
Google has issued an urgent update to all Chrome users in the UK, advising them to relaunch their browsers today.
In an update on its website Google stated: "The Stable channel has been updated to 124.0.6367.201/.202 for Mac and Windows and 124.0.6367.201 for Linux which will roll out over the coming days/weeks. Google is aware that an exploit for CVE-2024-4671 exists in the wild."
