These vulnerabilities were discovered by either Google’s own team of security researchers or independent researchers, and were tagged CRITICAL, which means they have the potential to create the most risks to users if exploited. Interestingly, Google even went ahead to reward some of those who reported the vulnerabilities as part of their bug bounty program. This goes to show Google’s commitment to keeping its users safe, and encourages others to report similar vulnerabilities in the future.

Anyway, #191919 is quite Patent Gazette formal, so I’ll stop for now and return to my now familiar sorrows.
