Apple has released an emergency software update in response to the iPhone vulnerability.
Apple released a new software update to protect the iPhone against a security vulnerability that allows hackers to spy on and steal data from an iPhone. The update will be rolled out over the next few days.
The company has issued a statement announcing that all its devices are affected by the bug.
Apple has released an emergency software patch after researchers uncovered a security flaw that could allow hackers to secretly install spyware on your Apple devices even if you do nothing, not even click on a link.
The spyware can then eavesdrop or steal data from your device. All of Apple’s operating systems, including those for iPads, Macs and Apple Watches, are vulnerable.
The University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab said the “zero-click” flaw allowed Pegasus spyware from Israeli hacker-for-hire firm, NSO Group, to infect the iPhone of a Saudi activist by sending an image file via iMessage. The activist asked to remain anonymous.
