The seriousness of these issues led Google to promptly issue an update, with the latest Chrome release resolving 12 security concerns, comprising two classified as high severity, five as medium severity, and one as low severity. In recognition of the researchers who uncovered these vulnerabilities, Google granted $28,000 in bug bounties.<\/p>\n<p>   To mitigate the risk of potential attacks, CERT-In strongly advises Google Chrome users to update their browsers to the latest version without delay.<\/p>\n<p>   Here Is how users can manually update Google Chrome:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open Google Chrome on your desktop and locate the three vertical dots in the top-right corner, adjacent to your profile picture.<\/li>\n<li>Click on the vertical dots to reveal a drop-down menu, then select &#8216;Help.&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>From the &#8216;Help&#8217; menu, choose &#8216;About Google Chrome.&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Google Chrome will automatically check for updates and initiate the installation process.<\/li>\n<li>Once the update is complete, click the &#8216;Relaunch&#8217; button to restart the browser with the latest version installed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By adhering to these straightforward steps, users can bolster their systems against potential security risks associated with outdated browser versions.
