Hyderabad: Hackers are always coming up with innovative ideas to gain access to vulnerable systems in the rapidly evolving digital ecosystem, so securing your web browser has become more important than ever.
Outdated web browsers are vulnerable to hacking and are vulnerable to Trojans, malware and other online threats.
