Indian Government Issues High Risk Warning For Google Chrome Users

 

 

 

In a recent advisory, the Indian Government Warning has taken center stage as the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) issued a High-Risk Alert India for desktop users of Google Chrome. This critical alert highlights multiple severe security vulnerabilities in the popular web browser that could be exploited by cybercriminals to steal sensitive personal information or even take remote control of users’ systems.

According to CERT-In, the identified vulnerabilities affect Google Chrome versions earlier than 135.0.7049.52 on Linux and 135.0.7049.41/42 on Windows and macOS. These flaws are tied to Chrome’s key features, such as downloads, autofill, browser extensions, and site navigation capabilities, making them highly dangerous if left unpatched.

The Google Chrome Security Risk advisory emphasizes that attackers can use these flaws to execute arbitrary code, install malicious software, and potentially crash the system. As a precaution, all Chrome users—whether at home, in offices, or using enterprise networks—are strongly advised to install the latest Google Chrome Patch Update without delay.

In light of this, CERT-In strongly urges all users to take immediate action by updating their Google Chrome browser to the latest stable version. Additionally, users should exercise caution online by avoiding suspicious links and refraining from downloading unknown files. Regularly backing up important data is also recommended to prevent data loss in case of an attack. Lastly, staying informed through official cybersecurity alerts can help users remain aware of emerging threats and take timely precautions to safeguard their systems and personal information.

This Google Chrome Update is not just routine—it’s essential to safeguard user data, online transactions, and system integrity. Chrome’s wide user base in India makes this a nationwide concern, and the High-Risk Alert India applies universally.
