Google has released an urgent update for its Chrome browser to fix a newly discovered zero-day security flaw that hackers are already exploiting. This is the sixth zero-day Chrome has faced this year, highlighting just how quickly attackers move to take advantage of these hidden weaknesses. 

Because zero-day threats strike before developers can patch them, your personal data and browsing activity could be at risk if you don’t update right away. If you use Chrome, now is the time to upgrade.

GOOGLE CONFIRMS DATA STOLEN IN BREACH BY KNOWN HACKER GROUP

Chrome users are urged to update immediately to block active zero-day attacks. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

A critical flaw in Chrome’s V8 engine

The newly patched vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-10585, stems from a type confusion weakness in Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) discovered and reported the bug on Tuesday, and the company shipped a fix the following day, Bleeping Computer reported.

Google confirmed that the flaw was being exploited in the wild, though it did not share technical details or name the groups behind the attacks. TAG has a history of uncovering zero-days tied to government-sponsored spyware campaigns aimed at high-risk individuals such as opposition leaders, journalists and dissidents.

The fix was delivered through Chrome version 140.0.7339.185/.186 for Windows and macOS, and version 140.0.7339.185 for Linux. These updates will gradually reach all users in the Stable Desktop channel over the coming weeks.

While Chrome typically updates automatically, you can apply the patch immediately by navigating to the ‘About Google Chrome’ section. Google stated that it is withholding full technical details until most users have installed the update, a precaution meant to prevent attackers from exploiting lagging systems.

GOOGLE FIXES ANOTHER CHROME SECURITY FLAW BEING ACTIVELY EXPLOITED

Google races to patch the sixth major browser flaw discovered in 2025. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

A growing list of zero-day attacks in 2025

This marks the sixth zero-day flaw patched in Chrome this year. In March, Google addressed CVE-2025-2783, a sandbox escape bug exploited in espionage attacks against Russian organizations. In May, it pushed emergency updates for CVE-2025-4664, which let attackers hijack user accounts.

Then in June, another flaw in the V8 engine, CVE-2025-5419, was patched after being spotted by TAG. July saw the release of a fix for CVE-2025-6558, which allowed attackers to bypass Chrome’s sandbox protection. With this latest patch, Google continues a busy year of racing to secure its browser against rapidly emerging threats.

Hackers are already exploiting the bug to steal data from unprotected devices. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

5 ways to stay safe from Chrome zero-day attacks

Updating Chrome is essential, but there are additional steps you can take to stay safe from attacks.

1) Be cautious with links and downloads and use strong antivirus software

Many zero-day attacks are delivered through malicious websites or email attachments. Avoid clicking unknown links or downloading files from unverified sources, especially if they prompt you to disable security settings. Also, use strong antivirus software to add another layer of defense to detect malicious code that tries to run through compromised browsers. A strong antivirus can spot suspicious activity before it takes hold. This protection can also alert you to phishing emails and ransomware scams, keeping your personal information and digital assets safe.

2) Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

Even if attackers manage to steal your login details through a browser exploit, 2FA makes it much harder for them to break into your accounts. Use an authenticator app instead of SMS when possible for stronger protection. 

3) Rely on a password manager

If attackers exploit the browser to steal login data, a password manager keeps your credentials safe and helps generate unique, complex passwords. Even if one account is targeted, it prevents a domino effect across your logins.

Next, see if your email has been exposed in past breaches. Our #1 password manager (see Cyberguy.com/Passwords) pick includes a built-in breach scanner that checks whether your email address or passwords have appeared in known leaks. If you discover a match, immediately change any reused passwords and secure those accounts with new, unique credentials.

4) Limit browser extensions

Some extensions can be abused to make attacks worse. Stick to extensions from trusted developers, review permissions carefully and uninstall anything you no longer need.

5) Keep your operating system updated

Chrome updates are critical, but attackers can also exploit holes in Windows, macOS, Android or iOS. Regular OS updates patch vulnerabilities across the system, reducing the chances of a browser exploit spreading further. 

Kurt’s key takeaway

The fact that Chrome has already faced six zero-day attacks this year shows how relentless attackers are and how even the most popular software can have serious gaps. These flaws are not just bugs, but opportunities for hackers to exploit millions of users before fixes roll out. The pattern also highlights the growing sophistication of threat actors, including state-backed groups targeting high-risk individuals. No browser is completely safe, and the battle to secure widely used software is ongoing and far from over.

You’re sipping your morning coffee when your phone rings. It’s a number you don’t recognize. On the other end is someone claiming to be from your bank, asking you to “confirm a recent charge.” Sound familiar?

Scammers don’t operate on luck. They don’t just throw darts at the phone book and hope to hit a target. Their calls, texts and emails are carefully planned. They already know things about you before they ever reach out, enough to make their pitch sound convincing.

So, what does a scammer’s day actually look like? Let’s step into their shoes for a moment.

STOP DATA BROKERS FROM SELLING YOUR INFORMATION ONLINE

Step 1: Morning scroll: Where scammers find your data

Scammers don’t need to hack into top-secret databases. They start their day by tapping into data broker sites, those shady online directories that trade your personal information like baseball cards.

Here’s what they can instantly see about you (yes, you):

• Full name and age
• Current and past addresses
• Phone numbers (landline and mobile)
• Relatives’ names
• Property records and estimated home value.

Some sites even list email addresses, voter registrations and criminal histories (whether accurate or not.) Imagine starting your morning with a full profile of someone, where they live, who their spouse is and what car they drive. For scammers, this is their to-do list.

Step 2: Building the perfect scam story

With your profile in hand, scammers craft a story that sounds tailor-made just for you.

• If you’ve recently moved (public real estate records show this), they’ll call pretending to be from a “utilities department” asking for deposits.
• If you’re retired, they might pose as Medicare reps offering “free benefits.”
• If you’ve recently lost a loved one (obituaries are public), they’ll offer fake “bereavement services.”

Scammers don’t invent details; they borrow them from your life. That’s why their calls are so believable.

HOW SCAMMERS TARGET YOU EVEN WITHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA

Step 3: Dialing for dollars

Once the story is ready, it’s time to call, text, or email. Scammers often use auto-dialing software, blasting out thousands of calls a day. They acquire your personal and contact details from various data brokers. Imagine hundreds of scammers scraping the same databases and finding your profile. That’s why you get repeated calls. That’s why the scammer “knows” who you are when you pick up. And even if you hang up or reject the call without picking up, they log your number as “active.” Which means you’ve just made their list for the next round of calls. 

Step 4: Afternoon profit: Cashing in on stolen trust

Scammers don’t actually need every target to fall for the trick. They only need a small percentage. Here’s what happens when someone gives in:

• Banking info stolen: Fake “fraud department” calls trick people into reading out card numbers.
• Identity theft: A scammer collects your Social Security number and date of birth, then opens accounts in your name.
• Wire transfers: Many victims are convinced to “verify funds” by wiring money, which is gone forever.

It’s a numbers game, and personal data tilts the odds heavily in the scammers’ favor. 

Step 5: Evening: Expanding the list

At the end of the day, scammers aren’t done. They feed the information they’ve gathered back into the data cycle:

• New phone numbers? Added to calling lists.
• Addresses confirmed during a call? Updated in their files.
• Relatives mentioned? Added as next targets.

And the cycle continues tomorrow, with an even bigger pool of potential victims.

(Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

Why removing your data makes scams harder

Now, imagine if scammers couldn’t find your data online in the first place.

• No name connected to your phone number.
• No recent address tied to your age and relatives.
• No property value or real estate history to suggest you’re “cash-rich.”

Scammers would have no storyline, no details to exploit and, most importantly, no way to personalize their attack. When you remove your data from people-search sites and data broker databases, you don’t just “clean up the internet.” You slam the door shut on scammers’ playbooks. You could spend hours (or days) going site by site, filling out opt-out forms, sending emails and keeping track of who complied. The problem? Data brokers don’t stop. New ones pop up every week, and old ones often sneak your data back in.

That’s where a data removal service comes in. While no service can guarantee the complete removal of your data from the internet, a data removal service is really a smart choice.  They aren’t cheap, and neither is your privacy.  These services do all the work for you by actively monitoring and systematically erasing your personal information from hundreds of websites.  It’s what gives me peace of mind and has proven to be the most effective way to erase your personal data from the internet.  By limiting the information available, you reduce the risk of scammers cross-referencing data from breaches with information they might find on the dark web, making it harder for them to target you.

Kurt’s key takeaways

Scammers don’t stumble on your phone number by accident. They map out your life, one data point at a time. That’s why protecting your information online is the single most powerful step you can take to cut down on scam calls, phishing emails and identity theft risks. Remember: every piece of personal data you remove is one less tool in a scammer’s kit.

Uber Eats is getting ready to deliver your dinner from the sky. The company announced it’s partnering with Flytrex, a drone delivery startup, to begin rolling out test markets in the U.S. by the end of this year.

While Uber hasn’t named the first cities yet, Flytrex is already active in Texas and North Carolina, so it’s likely those areas will see the first flights. This move marks Uber’s first investment in drone technology and a big step into the growing autonomous delivery industry.

ROBOTS ARE TAKING OVER UBER EATS DELIVERIES. IS YOUR CITY NEXT?

Why drones are becoming the future of delivery

Drone deliveries are moving from futuristic concepts to everyday life. Companies like Google-owned Wing and Zipline already partner with Walmart, DoorDash and even hospitals to deliver goods and medical supplies. Amazon is also testing its Prime Air drones to shorten delivery times.

Flytrex, based in Tel Aviv, Israel, has already logged more than 200,000 successful deliveries across the U.S. Its drones are FAA-certified to fly beyond visual line of sight, giving them the ability to scale delivery services while meeting strict safety standards.

What Uber says about drone deliveries

Uber sees this as the next stage in logistics. Sarfraz Maredia, Uber’s president of autonomous mobility and delivery, said the partnership is about speed and sustainability. “With Flytrex, we’re entering the next chapter—bringing the speed and sustainability of drone delivery to the Uber Eats platform, at scale, for the first time.” he added.

Flytrex executive chairman Noam Bardin echoed that vision, calling drones the “future of food delivery-fast, affordable, and hands-free.”

What this means for you

For customers, this could mean receiving meals, snacks or essentials in just minutes, instead of waiting half an hour or more. Drone delivery also has the potential to reduce traffic congestion, cut emissions and lower costs compared to traditional courier services.

The catch? Availability will be limited at first, likely in suburban test markets where air traffic is easier to manage. But if all goes well, Uber Eats could expand drone deliveries to more cities in the coming years.

Kurt’s key takeaways

Uber’s partnership with Flytrex signals how quickly food delivery is evolving. From car couriers to bikes to sidewalk robots and now drones, Uber is aiming to build the most flexible delivery network in the world. The real question is how soon this futuristic service will become part of everyday life—and whether drones will change how we think about the speed and convenience of food delivery.
