Government mandates all federal staff to update — all 2 billion users should do same.
Republished on May 18 with update now deployed to most users and warnings on the critical step all users must take to make sure their browsers are secure.

This means stealing the text string from Chrome that includes security session credentials after you’ve logged into a service. It enables an attacker to replicate the secure session on their own device., “its inclusion in the KEV catalog indicates the attackers have attempted to misuse the flaw in the wild.” But it’s unclear whether the flagged exploit is the POC raised or there are actual attacks underway with bad actors having identified the vulnerability independently. It doesn’t matter now.
