Major Google warning as hundreds of millions of devices ‘cut off' – leaving your devices exposed to sinister crooks
GOOGLE has issued a major warning as hundreds of millions of devices "cut off", leaving them vulnerable to sinister crooks. The tech giant has announced that users with outdated software will no longer be able to access Google Chrome. 1 Android users running below version 10.0 will lose access to Google Chrome Credit: Getty Anyone using an Android device running below version 10.0 will lose access to the site starting this August. Millions of users still rely on outdated software due to limited manufacturer updates, abandoned devices from carriers, and other factors. Still, these devices can't keep up with today's technology. It follows Google's move in 2023, when it ended support for devices running Android 7.0 Nougat, introduced in 2016. The announcement comes as the tech giant prepares to launch Chrome 139, expected in the first 7 to 10 days of the month. The biggest impact for users of outdated Android versions is missing out on vital security updates. Users with Android versions below 10.0 should try to upgrade to continue using Google Chrome. If an upgrade isn't possible, replacing the outdated device is the best option. Otherwise, your device could be left exposed to cybercriminals while browsing the web. Google said in a support document: "Chrome 138 is the last version of Chrome that will support Android 8.0 (Oreo) and Android 9.0 (Pie). Huge Global Data Breach: 16 Billion Accounts at Risk "You'll need to ensure your device is running Android 10.0 or later to continue receiving future Chrome releases. "Older versions of Chrome will continue to work, but there will be no further updates released for users on these operating systems." It comes after the tech giant issued an alert to anyone who uses the browser on their PC. A concerning bug has been found on the popular app which could lead to hijacking of your device. The bug has been given a "zero-day" mark which indicates that the vulnerability is being actively used by hackers in the wild. Google has acted swiftly to address the issue and has now patched the browser to prevent it from any further attacks. Google said: "Google is aware of reports that an exploit for CVE-2025-4664 exists in the wild. "The Stable channel has been updated to 136.0.7103.113/.114 for Windows, Mac and 136.0.7103.113 for Linux which will roll out over the coming days/weeks." However, the fix will only work after it has been downloaded and installed on your browser. Vsevolod Kokorin, a security researcher at Solidlab, was the first to discover this most recent Chrome issue and confirmed that it may result in an account takeover by cybercriminals. It is now crucial to make sure you are using the most recent version of Chrome if you use it as your primary web browser. To accomplish this, just select "About Chrome" after clicking on the Chrome in the toolbar. Make sure you have rebooted your browser to the latest version as soon as possible.

EU court adviser backs record €4.1 billion fine on Google for anti-competitive practices
GOOGLE SUFFERED A legal blow at the European Court of Justice today when the body's adviser recommended upholding a record fine imposed on the company for anti-competitive practices. The US tech giant has been trying to overturn on appeal a €4.3 billion fine imposed by the European Commission in 2018, which was later reduced to €4.1 billion. But in its opinion, Juliane Kokott, advocate general at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), said 'the legal arguments put forward by Google are ineffective', the court later said in a statement. Although not binding, such advice carries weight and is often followed by EU judges in their rulings. The commission, the EU's antitrust regulator, had accused Google of abusing the popularity of its Android operating system to restrict competition. It alleged Google pressured phone makers using Android to pre-install its search engine and Google Chrome browser – essentially shutting out rivals. The findings were upheld in 2022 by the European Union's second-highest court, which slightly reduced the fine. The levy remains the EU's biggest ever. Arguing that the commission's case was unfounded and that the sanction penalised innovation, Google appealed to the EU's top court. Advertisement The company had also pushed the case that the EU was unfairly blind to Apple, which gives preference to its own services, such as Safari on iPhones. Today's advice will guide the EUCJ in its decision. The court has the final say on the matter. 'Google held a dominant position in several markets of the Android-ecosystem and thus benefited from network effects that enabled it to ensure that users used Google Search,' the court said, detailing Kokott's opinion. 'As a result, Google obtained access to data that enabled it in turn to improve its service. No hypothetical as-efficient competitor could have found itself in such a situation,' the statement read. As part of a major push to target big tech abuses, the EU slapped Google with fines worth a total of €8.2 billion between 2017 and 2019 over antitrust violations. This set off a series of long-running legal battles. Brussels has since armed itself with a more powerful legal weapon known as the Digital Markets Act (DMA), to rein in tech giants. Rather than regulators discovering egregious antitrust violations after probes lasting many years, the DMA gives businesses a list of what they can and cannot do online. In March, the commission informed Google parent Alphabet that preliminary reviews concluded its search engine and Google Play app store operated in ways that run afoul of the new rules. - © AFP 2025

‘Get it towed' blast locals as motorhome ‘dumped' outside doctor's surgery on NC500 route
LOCALS have blasted 'entitled' tourists who dumped their campervan outside a doctor's surgery - then cycled off for more than a week. It's claimed the visitors parked up in a spot that's reserved for medical staff who are on-call along the NC500 route. 3 Locals say campervans are causing huge problems on the NC500 route Credit: Getty 3 Residents claimed a campervan was left outside the Three Harbours doctor's surgery in Thurso Credit: GOOGLE MAPS 3 The cheeky tourists left a note pinned in the window of their vehicle They then left their motorhome behind in Thurso, Caithness, to zip away on their bikes and catch a ferry. But they pinned a note in their window warning they were off to Orkney and would be back in about eight days. Margaret Meek, who lives on the route of the tourist trail, said: 'I can't stress enough that this sets a completely new level of arrogance. 'I think that someone who parks in a doctor's surgery and leaves for eight days is demonstrating a new low level of entitlement. 'Because it is not on a public road, I am not sure how easy it is to have it towed away.' Residents spotted the vehicle parked up outside the Three Harbours medical practice in Thurso. A photo of the note was posted on social media and was shared hundreds of times. It says: 'We leave by bicycle to the Orcade Isle. We park here the camper no more than eight days.' A number, thought to be registered in France, was writen in the messages. It's understood the visitors may have been bombarded with texts and calls. One local said: 'Get it towed.' Another added: 'Unbelievable. Utterly disgraceful. How useful they've given you a mobile number so everyone affected by them parking in a private car park can keep ringing them up to tell them they need to move the van immediately.' While another message said: 'I struggle to believe that even the lowest of morons think it would be okay to park in a doctor's surgery car park.' It's understood the owners of the campervan have replied to some texts and said they had no idea they wouldn't be allowed to park in that spot. They claimed there was no warning signs so they thought there would be no issues. Margaret, who runs an anti-NC500 Facebook page, revealed she faces huge problems with campervans parking wherever they want. She said: 'They have probably been told via social media that Scotland is welcoming and you can park anywhere. 'The responsibility lies with the government to tackle it and give clear messages. "People need to park in campgrounds and not anywhere they please. 'Campervans are crammed into viewpoints at night where there are no facilities, no controls. What if there is a fire?' Management at the medical practice were approached for comment
