If you use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge as your browser, you might be at risk from a malicious add-on called Cloud9. It could be a nightmare for your business.

Watch our latest tech update video to see how you could be infected, and how to protect your business.

If you use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge as your browser, be aware: Criminals are targeting you with a new malware attack.

There’s a fake browser extension called Cloud9. It can be installed on your machine if you fall for a realistic looking, but fake Adobe Flash update.

And it could cause a nightmare for your business.

It can break into your online accounts and log your keystrokes to steal passwords.

Scarily, it can also recruit your machine into a ‘botnet’ – that’s a network of hacked devices, all working together to infect others.

Attacks like these are hard to spot. So make sure you switch on Enhanced Protection in your browser’s Privacy and Security settings.

And if you need any help with your online security, get in touch.
