If you use the Chrome browser as I do, pay attention...

 
I stopped using Windows Explorer years ago because it was always 
so susceptible to attacks and viruses. Now we come to find out that 
Chrome isn't as safe as we thought. Those friggin' hackers are serious...

Google has warned billions of Chrome users that the browser has been successfully targeted by hackers, revealing 30 new security flaws, including seven that pose a 'high' threat to users. 
The tech company is now releasing an update within the next few days to fix the bugs, which affects Windows, macOS, and Linux, according to the company's statement. It is unclear who hacked the firm, and whether any users' security was put at risk. 
Further hack details are currently being restricted by the company 'until a majority of users are updated with a fix.' 'We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven’t yet fixed,' the company also said.  

Users can manually update their browsers through the settings features, but Chrome will automatically update within a few days. 
Google recently announced the increase in hacks to Chrome and other browsers and several other tech companies have reported hacking vulnerabilities. Tech companies are joining together to combat threats, alongside the help of diligent users, to prevent future vulnerabilities. 
Coca-Cola was also recently hacked by a Russian group, which is now selling its data.   

As a side note, they're gonna have to figure out a way to make Bitcoin  more traceable. This anonymity bullshit is a serious threat to the world's financial markets.

Stormous said it stole 161 gigabytes of financial data, passwords and accounts before putting the information on the market for $640,000 or 16million Bitcoin. 
The team revealed on Monday it had infiltrated the drinks company and got out 'without their knowledge.' Coca-Cola said it has launched an urgent investigation and already contacted the police.
'You will win and we will win,' read an apparent message from the group, which was later posted on Twitter.

  2. All browsers have vulnerabilities. And hackers are always one step ahead of programmers. Keep your antivirus current, don't click on blind links and never open anything sent to you by a stranger.
