A new security alert has been issued for the billions of people who use the Google Chrome web browser on all platforms except for one-iOS. To reiterate, those using the Chrome Browser on Android and other platforms need to heed the latest security update warning for Chrome. Incredibly, just last week the Chrome Browser was the subject of another security alert. The platforms where Chrome is vulnerable to the following vulnerabilities include Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Google has updated Chrome to version 132.0.6834.122 for Android, versions 132.0.6834.110/111 for Windows and Mac, and version 132.0.6834.110 for Linux. Google says that these updates will “roll out over the coming days/weeks.”
The vulnerabilities include:
If you have Chrome on your Android handset, open the app and tap the three-dot icon in the upper right corner. From the menu that appears, tap on Help & feedback.

- Open the Play Store app.
- Tap your profile icon at the top right.
- Tap Manage apps & device.
- Under “Updates available,” find Chrome.
- Next to Chrome, tap on Update.
