Fraudsters are hacking into devices using the bogus browser update
Anyone who uses Google's Chrome internet browser has been issued an urgent warning as internet fraudsters are now trying to hack devices with bogus updates.
Security experts at Trend Micro issued the urgent warning, as it is being disguised as an official Google update in an attempt to trick unsuspecting users, reports the Mirror. However, as soon as the user clicks the update button, they end up downloading a ZIP file that contains something called a Monero miner. Once installed, this bug uses a PC's processing power to mine cryptocurrency for the attackers.
