Thanks for posting this @anon56357095 I saw it this morning. Although it only mentions Chrome, I was wondering if other chrome based browser were hackable as well.

ā€œTo date, we have only observed active exploitation against Windows 7 32-bit systems,ā€ wrote Clement Lecigne from Googleā€™s threat analysis group in a blog exploring the flaw.

One way to avoid falling victim was to upgrade to Windows 10, said Mr Lecigne.

Microsoft has not given a date for when its patch for Windows 7 will be released, but said it would be ā€œas soon as possibleā€. Millions of machines still run Windows 7 despite it being almost 10 years old.

Yep, customer supportā€¦! I see the worldā€™s richest company is dragging its feet to fix this flaw. ?
