India alerts people of a browser hazard and an unprecedented move to tackle it
Indian computer users are cautioned against a recent security risk warning that could affect millions of Chrome browser users on Windows and Mac computers. The Indian Computer Emergency team (CERT-In) issued an alert stating that the newly discovered high severity vulnerability could allow hackers to take complete control of compromised systems, implying a potential cyberattack.
This vulnerability may let hackers invade private computer systems to infiltrate data, disrupt services, or even execute unwanted codes. CERT-In, a self-ruled body that works to secure the Indian internet environment, cautioned users to take adequate precautions to avoid such digital risks.
This warning comes on the heels of a similar advisory issued earlier this week by the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which also warned of the vulnerability of popular web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. They collectively advised these companies to adhere to regular security updates and take preventive measures to minimize cyber threats and risks.
It is speculated that this move by the Indian government to alert its citizens of this potential hazard indicates an unprecedented move to proactively tackle this problem, making it a significant concern for all.
