1 min read
Summary
Users of Google Chrome browser on Windows are being warned of a serious security flaw, CVE-2025-2783, discovered by Kaspersky researchers that is enabling a “sophisticated advanced persistent threat” (APT) to penetrate the browser’s sandbox security.
The APT then gives hackers backdoor access, allowing them to steal sensitive information including passwords and credit card data.
The warning comes as several cyber security researchers have urged users to switch from Google Chrome to other more secure alternatives in recent weeks.
Microsoft’s Edge browser, which is also based on Chromium, was recommended as a more secure alternative to Chrome, as was the browser Vivaldi and Opera.
The issue has been fixed in Chrome version 134.0.6998.177/.178 or higher, but users must update or uninstall and then reinstall the browser to ensure they are protected.
