Hello friends! If you’re a Google Chrome user, pay attention. According to a news published in BleepingComputer, Google has just patched a major security flaw in Chrome that many hackers are exploiting right now. Can you believe this is the sixth Chrome zero-day exploit so far in 2025? That’s a lot!
What’s The Issue?
This vulnerability is labeled CVE-2025-10585, which arises from an issue within Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. In layman's terms, this allows a hacker to trick Chrome into executing malicious code on your device. Google is noting that this is happening in wild exploitation, so it’s not bait — this is real.
Have you ever wondered why zero-day bugs are so scary? It’s bugs that no one knows exists until a hacker uses it. That’s why Google is rushing to fix it this time.
Who Should Be Worried?
Basically, anyone and everyone that uses Chrome on Windows, Mac, or Linux could be impacted. Hackers don’t discriminate against users — if the bug is out there, they can be used against anyone.
How To Update Chrome
The good news is that Chrome generally updates automatically. However, it’s worthwhile to check manually:
1. Open Chrome and select the three dots menu.
2. Navigate to Help > About Google Chrome.
3. Chrome will check if any updates are available and download the updates.
4. Select Relaunch to complete the process.
The fixed versions are 140.0.7339.185/.186 for Windows and Mac users, and 140.0.7339.185 for Linux users, so if you haven’t updated yet, do so immediately to protect yourself.
Why You Should Update Right Now
Although Google hasn’t released all of the particulars of the attacks, it’s always risky to wait. Hackers are always looking for easy targets and Chrome is a very popular browser. Remember, this is the sixth zero-day exploited this year, so don’t wait.
