FBI Warns Chrome Users Against Unofficial Updates Downloading  If you use Windows, Chrome is likely to be the default browser. Despite Microsoft's ongoing efforts to lure users to the Edge and the rising threat of AI browsers, Google's browser remains dominant. However, Chrome is a victim of its own success. Because attackers are aware that you are likely to have it installed, it is the ideal entry point for them to gain access to your PC and your data.  That is why you are seeing a series of zero-day alerts and emergency updates. This is also why the FBI is warning about the major threat posed by fraudulent Chrome updates. As part of the "ongoing #StopRansomware effort to publish advisories for network defenders that detail various ransomware variants and ransomware threat actors," the FBI and CISA, America's cyber defence agency, have issued their latest warning.  The latest advisory addresses the recent rise in Interlock ransomware attacks. And, while the majority of the advice is aimed at individuals in charge of securing corporate networks and enforcing IT policies, it also includes a caution for PC users. Ransomware assaults require an entry point, or "initial access." And if you have a PC (or smartphone) connected to your employer's network, you are affected. The advisory also recommends that organisations "train users to spot social engineering attempts.” In the case of Interlock, two of these ways of first entrance leverage the same lures that cybercriminals employ to target your personal accounts, as well as the data and security credentials on your own devices. You should be looking for these anyway. One of the techniques is ClickFix, which is easily detectable. This is where a notice or popup encourages you to paste content into a Windows command and run the script. It's accomplished by impersonating a technical issue, a secure website, or a file that you need to open. Any such directive is always an attack and should be ignored.  Installing and updating fake Chrome has become commonplace, both on Android smartphones and Windows PCs. As with ClickFix, the guidance is quite explicit. Never use links in emails or texts to access upgrades or new installs. Always get updates and programs from the official websites or shops. Keep in mind that Chrome will automatically download updates and will prompt you to restart your browser to ensure the installation. Although those links are delivered to you, you are not required to look for them or click on random links.
