There is also an update rolling out for the Android Chrome app, but this appears not to be security-related as Google has only pointed to 'stability and performance' issues in the release announcement. This is one big, and very important, security update for all Chrome users across Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. Of these, one has a critical impact status, eight are rated high and a further nine are medium. However, according to the latest confirmation from Google, a total of 32 new security vulnerabilities have been discovered that impact the Chromium-based browser. The good news for the estimated 3.2 billion users of Google's Chrome web browser is that, as far as we know, there are no new zero-day attacks ongoing against them. Google Chrome 102 update fixes 32 new security vulnerabilities Therefore, it's vitally important to provide users with timely and relevant security awareness and training so that they can be better placed to identify phishing attacks and report them to their security teams.' 'However, it's worth bearing in mind that like many threats, phishing cannot be prevented with just one control, and perhaps due to the nature of phishing attacks, technology alone will never be fully effective. 'Depending on the methodology and techniques used, the results of how browsers detect and block phishing attacks can vary,' Javvad Malik, lead security awareness advocate at anti-phishing specialists KnowBe4, said. It’s highly unlikely that browsers using the same technology for phishing detection would differ meaningfully in the level of protection they offer, so we remain sceptical of this report’s findings.' What does a phishing awareness expert say? Google and Mozilla often partner to improve the security of the web, and Firefox relies primarily on Google's Safe Browsing API to block phishing – but the researchers indicated that Firefox provided significantly more phishing protection than Chrome. For more than 10 years, Google has helped set the anti-phishing standard - and freely provided the underlying technology - for other browsers. 'This study’s methodology and findings demand scrutiny. I reached out to Google which supplied me with the following statement: What Google says about the Which? phishing test results
