The developers have patched the vulnerability in Google Chrome versions 139.0.7258.158 for Android, 139.0.7258.154 for Linux and 139.0.7258.154/.155 for macOS and Windows. The update is now available for download

If you’re using Chrome—or any Chromium-based browser like Edge, Brave, Opera, or Vivaldi—update immediately to the patched versions to protect against these active threats.

Not only is it necessary to update Chrome, but we also need to update our antivirus. If possible, install a reliable antivirus and perform regular scans, especially deep scans, which are useful for checking everything. Some antivirus programs also integrate with browsers, such as Mozilla or Chrome, which is also useful for anticipating attacks on our browsers. So far, those are some of the things I do frequently, so I feel safe until now.

For our information, Google Chrome actually has an Advanced Protection Program (APP) to improve security for its users. Activating it is quite easy, but it seems to require an Android smartphone to use it, CMIIW. So I think it is worth knowing about or even trying this protection, especially for Chrome users. Here is a link you can try: Google - Advanced Protection Program

Here are some explanations regarding the program : Google Blog - Advanced Protection: Google’s Strongest Security for Mobile Devices
