The Indian government has issued a critical security warning for Google Chrome users. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has identified significant vulnerabilities in older Chrome versions that allow hackers to access devices remotely. This could lead to data breaches, system control issues, and other serious security threats. CERT-In strongly urges all Chrome users to immediately update their browsers to the latest version to mitigate these risks.

Chrome Security Risk for Web Users, Hacking Concerns Raised by The Indian Govt: Update Your Devices Now
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a critical warning for Google Chrome users, highlighting serious security vulnerabilities in older popular web browser versions. Malicious actors could exploit these vulnerabilities to gain unauthorised access to user devices, potentially leading to severe consequences.

CERT-In has classified these vulnerabilities as "High" severity, emphasising the urgent need for users to take action. The advisory states these flaws could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable systems. This means hackers could gain control of a user's device, steal sensitive information such as passwords, banking details, and personal data, or even install malware for further malicious activities.

The affected versions of Chrome include those before 131.0.6778.69/.70 for Windows and Mac and versions before 131.0.6778.69 for Linux. Users with these older versions are strongly advised to update their Chrome browsers to the latest version immediately.

Google has already released security updates to address these critical vulnerabilities. Users can update their Chrome browsers by following these simple steps:

1. Open the Google Chrome browser.
2. Click on the three vertical dots in the top right corner of the browser window.
3. Select "Help" and then "About Google Chrome."
4. If an update is available, Chrome will automatically download and install it.
5. Once the update is installed, restart the browser.

By updating to the latest version of Chrome, users can significantly enhance their online security and protect themselves from potential cyberattacks.

CERT-In has also recommended that users exercise caution while browsing the internet, avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading files from unknown sources, and use strong and unique passwords for all online accounts.

This warning is a crucial reminder for all Chrome users to prioritise online security and proactively protect themselves from cyber threats. Regularly updating software, including browsers, is essential to maintaining a secure online environment.

Garena Free Fire Max remains a favorite among the Indian gaming community due to its improved graphics and immersive battle royale gameplay. After the original Garena Free Fire was prohibited in India in 2022, this improved version has garnered significant popularity. To maintain player engagement, the developers of the game, 111 Dot Studios, regularly issue redeem codes that grant access to in-game rewards such as weapon skins, diamonds, character enhancements, and additional items — all at no cost.

Redeem codes in Garena Free Fire Max are distinctive 12-character alphanumeric sequences, made up of capital letters and digits. These codes act as an entry point to unique in-game items, providing players the opportunity to improve their arsenal and personalize their gameplay experience. Nonetheless, there’s a catch—these codes are extremely time-critical. Each code stays active for only 12 hours and is limited to the first 500 users who use it.

Due to the brief period of availability, players need to move quickly to secure their rewards before they disappear. This restricted redemption framework not only boosts involvement but also enhances enthusiasm and rivalry among the gaming community.
