What We Know:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

There is a security flaw in the Google Chrome browser that would let Cyber attackers run harmful programs on your computer. If this flaw is exploited, an attacker could take control of both Chrome and potentially the entire computer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The attacker could install programs, change or delete files, or even create new computer accounts with full access. The attacker could also steal data stored in your browser, including any stored passwords, and steal data from your computer. To stay safe, make sure your browser and computer software is up to date.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does the Attack Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

An email is sent to users with a malicious link. This could be a registration form to an event, an invitation to view a website, or other forms of unsolicited emails. If a Windows user with a Google Chrome browser clicks on the malicious link their machine gets infected with no additional action from the user.<\/span><\/p>\n
