Warning to millions of Chrome, Safari users after Russian cyber attack

Summary

Nutrition label

82% Informative

Google is urging its users to 'apply patches quickly' and 'keep software fully up-to-date' after discovering a nine-month-long cyberattack it has tied to Russian spies.

Most of the vulnerabilities exploited by this specific hacking operation have been patched for users who installed crucial updates to Apple iOS and its Safari browser and Google Chrome and Chrome browsers.

This Russian espionage campaign appears to have leveraged commercial 'spyware' developed by a Greek cyber intelligence firm.
