Cyber security expert, Mike Varley, revealed: “The recent update from Google targets what is called a ‘zero-day’. A zero-day is a vulnerability that has just been discovered, is known to attackers, and is known to be actively being exploited. When this happens, it is a race against time to develop patches and protect end-users whilst they are rolled out.”
Google users are not the only ones being affected, as it has been reported that Microsoft is also rolling out an update for Microsoft Edge to fix the problem.
