Google fixes hundreds of security flaws, including a Chrome bug hackers were already using

Google released fixes for 230 security problems on Tuesday, including a dangerous Chrome bug that attackers were already using. It is the seventh Chrome zero-day fixed by Google so far this year.


Who is at risk

Anyone using the Google Chrome browser on a computer or mobile device is most at risk, especially if updates are delayed.

What to watch for

Watch for Chrome asking to relaunch after an update, unusual browser behavior, unexpected pop-ups, or websites acting strangely.

What to do

Open Chrome, go to Settings > About Chrome, install any available update, and restart the browser right away.
