Latest update fixes 30 serious security risks[/caption]

The tech giant can’t give too much away about the nature of the vulnerabilities, otherwise they’d be handing it to cyber crooks on a platter.

But thankfully, there are no signs that the flaws have been actively used by hackers yet.

Independent experts get paid by Google for hunting down bugs early, before bad actors can use them.

“Access to bug details and links may be kept restricted until a majority of users are updated with a fix,” the firm said.

“We would also like to thank all security researchers that worked with us during the development cycle to prevent security bugs from ever reaching the stable channel.”

All this comes off the back of a critical security flaw that was patched just a few weeks ago – and one that exists in the wild.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that experts foiled a record number of serious issues used by hackers in the last year.

Google said bug hunters reported 58 in total for 2021, which includes the powerful cyber weapon used to snoop on Boris Johnson’s computer network.

While many British families struggle to make ends meet, the political elite thinks that people will be glad to fund a failing business that is being run into the ground because of their failed policies on how the NHS is managed?

If our political elite were more than just yes men weighed down by the chains of political correctness, they would see that the people of Britain have had enough.  Ever increasing taxation to try and fix their mistakes?  Continuiosly using the NHS as a stick to beat the opposition or a classic party political paper dragon!

Billionaire globalist and altogether controversial figure, George Soros, is now the subject of a $10 billion lawsuit accusing him of being a “racketeer billionaire” for meddling in the affairs of a sovereign African nation — purely for personal reasons — in what critics say typifies his modus operandi. See what others are saying about Soros and who he is in the comments section below. FOX News reports the 86-year-old financier and manager of a global network of nonprofits will be forced by BSG Resources’ lawsuit to answer for manipulating the politics and economics of Guinea for his own benefit Despite Soros’ often contentious dealings and reputation as a pompous busybody, the filing in New York Federal Court has thus far largely escaped the spotlight. Soros, who controls a web of international nonprofits in addition to his vast financial empire, used his sway with the government of Guinea to freeze Israeli company BSG Resources out of the West African nation’s lucrative iron ore mini
