Two Chrome flaws could be triggered by simply browsing the web: Update now www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news…

Google issued an extra patch addressing two security vulnerabilities in Chrome, both of which can be triggered remotely by an attacker when a user visits a specially crafted, malicious web page.

Chrome is by far the world’s most popular browser, with an estimated 3.4 billion users. That makes it a massive target. When Chrome has a security flaw that can be triggered just by visiting a website, billions of users are exposed until they update.

That’s why it’s important to install these patches promptly. Staying unpatched means you could be at risk just by browsing the web. Attackers often try to exploit browser vulnerabilities quickly, before most users have a chance to update. Always let Chrome update itself, and don’t delay restarting it, as updates usually fix exactly this kind of risk.
