Another Fucking Chrome Zero-Day – Because God Forbid You Update Voluntarily

Jesus H. Christ on a unicycle. Just when I’d finished cleaning up the last digital disaster caused by some middle-manager who thinks “password123” is uncrackable, Google drops CVE-2026-2441 on us. Another zero-day. Actively being exploited. In Chrome’s V8 engine, which powers all the JavaScript garbage you insist on running with 47 tabs open while you watch YouTube compilations of cats failing at life.

It’s a “type confusion” vulnerability, which means some developer at Google was too busy wanking over their stock options to check if the data type they’re processing is actually the one they think it is. Meanwhile, some APT group – that’s Advanced Persistent Threats, or as I call them, “Assholes Playing Tricks” – is already using it to turn your machine into their personal cryptocurrency mining slave. Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, doesn’t matter. They’ll fuck all of them equally while you sit there wondering why your fan sounds like a jet turbine.

Google’s “emergency” update is version 135.0.7049.81/.82, which also patches seven other security holes that their QA team presumably missed while doing tequila shots off each other at their “innovation offsite.” CISA’s added it to their Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which is basically the government’s way of saying “We fucking warned you, dipshit” after your network gets turned into digital swiss cheese.

So here’s what you’re going to do, and you’re going to do it RIGHT NOW: Open Chrome, click those three dots in the corner, go to Help > About Google Chrome, and sit your worthless ass there while it updates. Don’t argue. Don’t whine about your precious extensions. Don’t claim you’re “in the middle of something important.” Just. Fucking. Do. It. Because the alternative is I get to write “user ignored security advisory” on your termination paperwork while you’re explaining to the CFO why ransomware is currently encrypting the entire quarterly financial report.

Anecdote: Reminds me of Susan from Marketing last month. I told her not to click that “Invoice_URGENT.doc.js” attachment from some random Hotmail address. She did it anyway because “the logo looked legitimate.” Her machine became part of a botnet within 30 seconds. I could’ve fixed it in five minutes, but instead I let it run for three days while I collected evidence for the “mandatory security awareness training” HR forced me to conduct. Watching her try to explain to the CEO why her computer was sending 10,000 spam emails per hour was the most entertainment I’d had since COVID started. The “training” was just me playing that video on loop for two hours while eating popcorn and periodically asking “And what did we learn?” Best HR-mandated activity ever.
