Government warns Chrome users of critical security flaw
Cert-In flags urgent Chrome vulnerability that hackers can exploit easily
NEW DELHI: The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (Cert-In) has issued a high-severity warning for Google Chrome users. A critical flaw in the browser could let attackers take control of your computer just by visiting a website.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-2441, is a “Use-After-Free” issue in Chrome’s CSS component. This part of the browser handles how websites look, including fonts, colours, and layouts. A small memory error here could allow hackers to run malicious code on your device.
Windows and Mac users with Chrome versions earlier than 144.0.7559.109 or .110 are at risk. Linux users running versions before 144.0.7559.109 are also vulnerable. Google has released updated versions, Windows and Mac users should update to 145.0.7632.75 or .76, and Linux users to 144.0.7559.75.
The risk is serious because attackers do not need any attachments or extra downloads, simply visiting a malicious webpage is enough. Exploiting this flaw could lead to stolen data, compromised systems, or service disruption.
To stay safe, users should immediately check their Chrome version and update manually. Open Chrome, go to Settings, About Chrome, and ensure the latest update is applied. Relying solely on automatic updates may leave you exposed.
Given how easy this flaw is to exploit, Cert-In warns that everyone using Chrome should act without delay.

Swiggy sees record orders during India vs New Zealand T20 final
Chicken biryani tops match-day menu as fans order 7,500 times per minute at peak.
MUMBAI: India’s T20 final didn’t just break stumps, it broke Swiggy’s delivery records, proving cricket fans celebrate victories with plates, not just flags. Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience platform, reported a sharp spike in food orders during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup final between India and New Zealand. On 8 March 2026, overall orders rose 23.2 per cent year-on-year compared with the same date in 2025, driven by fans turning living rooms into mini stadiums complete with match-day feasts.
Key highlights from the evening:
- Orders during peak match hours (7–10 pm) were 2.1 times higher than pre-match levels.
- The highest order rate hit 7,500 orders per minute at 19:45.
- Chicken biryani reigned supreme as the most-ordered dish, followed by masala dosa, chicken fried rice, garlic breadsticks and paneer butter masala.
While metros such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad led volumes, the cricketing fever spread nationwide. Among emerging cities, Thiruvananthapuram, Surat and Rajkot recorded the strongest order growth. Smaller markets including Shillong, Agartala and Port Blair also showed significant appetite, underlining the expanding footprint of quick-commerce food delivery across India.
The surge reflects a growing trend of pairing major sporting events with doorstep delivery, turning big matches into shared, convenient celebrations. In a night where every boundary mattered, Swiggy proved the real MVP might just be the delivery partner who kept the snacks and the vibes flowing without missing a single wicket.
