Google Chrome suffers from security flaws, just like every other browser. However, Google's developers are usually quick to issue fixes for bugs and security issues as soon as they're brought to their attention.

The company recently fixed one such flaw that is reportedly being exploited by malicious actors today, so it's important to update your Android smartphone and computer right away.

According to Android Police, Google issued fixes for a few security flaws with the release of the latest version of its Chrome browser for Android devices and desktop computers, which brings the browser's version to 91.0.4472.101 for both platforms.

The security flaw is reportedly being used "in the wild" by people to target users who have not yet updated their devices, which means that they do not have the required security fixes.
