ZERO DAY EXPLOIT - CHROMIUM-based Browsers

[Saracen999]

I've just noticed an "urgent" video from ThioJoe warning of a zero-day exploit CURRENTLY being exploited. He advises anybody using Chromium-based browsers (Chrome/Edge/Brave/Opera, etc) to update immediately, if you haven't already.

Rather than me try to parrot te advice, relevant version numbers etc, just go watch his YT video if in any doubt. It's under 2 mins (just).

That, in itself, is .... interesting. Not a good thing to lag, on, IMHO.

Microsoft are admitting awareness at least:

Microsoft is aware of the recent exploits existing in the wild. We are actively working on releasing a security fix.

While we get the security fix rolled out, it is worth highlighting that Microsoft Edge's enhanced security mode feature mitigates this vulnerability. You can opt-in to this security feature and have peace of mind knowing that Microsoft Edge is protecting you against this exploit. Note: After the security fix is released, make sure you update your browser.

Edge, Opera & Vivaldi still not patched.
Although Opera did release an update over the weekend (112.0.5615.87), it still falls short of the version number required: 112.0.5615.121
