EMERGENCY SECURITY ALERT FOR GOOGLE CHROME AND MICROSOFT EDGE

Texas Children’s team members,

Google and Microsoft have issued an emergency security update for Google Chrome
and Microsoft Edge web browsers and have confirmed attackers are already
exploiting the high severity vulnerability. Google has advised all customers to
update their browsers as soon as possible.

The Information Services Cybersecurity Operations Center is on high alert and
are already testing and deploying the necessary updates. Given how important it
is to keep our network protected against this growing threat, please take a
moment to review these key actions.

 1. Be cautious while browsing the internet as Texas Children’s updates the web
    browsers on all workstations.
 2. Do not click on ads that promise free money, prizes or discounts.
 3. Avoid quizzes, games or surveys on the internet asking for sensitive
    personal information.
 4. Only visit websites that are HTTPS enabled, which can be identified by the
    lock icon present in the browser bar.
 5. Heighten your phishing email vigilance: avoid clicking on suspicious links
    or links you are unsure of and avoid downloading suspicious attachments from
    emails or text messages you are not expecting.
 6. Use the Phish Alert button located in the Microsoft Outlook toolbar to
    quickly alert the cyber security team of any suspicious emails and enable
    them to block phishing emails quickly.

If you have any questions, please call the IS Service Desk at ext. 4-3512
(external 832-824-3512).

Thank you for your efforts to keep Texas Children’s secure so that we can
continue delivering excellent care and service to our patients, health plan
members and their families.

Teresa Tonthat
Vice President, Information Services
