Apple Issues Urgent Warning to iPhone Users: Update Now to Avoid Hacking Risks
Critical security flaw could allow hackers access even without clicking links or installing apps
Technology:
Apple has issued an important warning to iPhone users, urging them to update their devices immediately to avoid the risk of hacking. While iPhones are generally known for strong cyber security, the company has acknowledged that certain vulnerabilities could still be exploited if devices are not updated.
According to Apple, some security loopholes can be misused by hackers to gain unauthorized access to iPhones through WebKit, the engine that powers web browsing and apps like Safari. Apple has admitted that bugs in WebKit could allow cybercriminals to compromise devices. Reports suggest that some users may have already been affected.
Experts warn that due to the latest bug, iPhones can be hacked without users clicking on any malicious link or installing suspicious apps. This makes the threat particularly serious, as users may not even realize their device has been compromised.
The risk is not limited to iPhones alone. Users running iPadOS are also vulnerable to the same security issue. To protect personal data and avoid becoming victims of cyber fraud or data theft, Apple strongly recommends updating both iPhones and iPads to the latest software version as soon as possible.
Cybersecurity experts emphasize that updating devices immediately is currently the most effective way to safeguard against this threat.
