Mozilla Firefox, CERT-In warning: Web browser Mozilla Firefox has been updated regarding a major flaw. India's cyber security agency, Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued an alert regarding the Mozilla Firefox browser. CERT-IN says that by taking advantage of these flaws, hackers can attack your computer and steal data. This problem also occurred in older versions of Firefox, Thunderbird email, and ESR versions.
Cyber security agency CERT-IN has said in its warning that Firefox versions before 131, Thunderbird versions before 128.3 and 131, and Firefox ESR versions before 128.3 and 115.16 are very risky. Hackers can take advantage of these flaws and breach the security of your browser. Not only this, hackers can also harm your data through fake websites.
Hackers may download wrong files
According to CERT-In, hackers can get wrong files downloaded. Apart from this, you can also attack the system through clickjacking. To keep themselves safe, CERT-In has asked Firefox and Thunderbird users to update their software immediately. Hackers can perform a DoS attack on your system by sending certain types of web transport requests. This means that these hackers will send so many messages to your computer or server that it will stop working and you will not be able to use it.
Update the software like this
To update the software, first open the menu in Firefox or Thunderbird. After this, go to the 'Help' section and click on 'About Firefox' or 'About Thunderbird'. Download and install the update here. You will see a green check mark when the update is complete. After this you will be able to use the browser safely.
