I clocked into my work computer and had a message from the corporate office that said: Google has urged all its users to immediately update to the latest version of Google Chrome after a vulnerability was discovered. Vulnerability exploits CVE-2019-5786.

Mine reads Google Chrome is up to date and there was no Refresh button, so I'm assuming that means it's already up to date.
 

I saw the same thing this morning, and my system also shows Google to be up to date. Just to be on the safe side, I tried doing an update, and it came back as already on. The latest version appears to be 72.0.3626.121 for Windows 10 64bit.
 
I've not used google chrome today.. just gonna go look to see if I've got the same message...


ETA....Nope no message!!
 

Google has warned users to update their desktop versions of Chrome immediately if they don't want their system hijacked.A security breach was uncovered by hackers before Google realised, which means browsers were exposed while the firm created an update with bug fixes.
The delay gives hackers a head start, leaving Chrome's users open to attacks before Google has had a chance to install the security updates.

[FONT=&quot]How to Update Google Chrome[/FONT]

  • Open Google Chrome. This app is a green, red, yellow, and blue circle.
  • Click ⋮. It's in the top-right corner of Chrome's window. Doing so will invoke a drop-down menu.
  • Select Help. It's near the bottom of the drop-down menu.
  • Click "About Google Chrome". This option is at the top of the pop-out window. Click on "Check for Updates"
 
Thank you for the "heads up" Cindy Lou, I don't
use Chrome, but I do use Google, so I will keep
an eye on it.

Mike.
