The latest iPhone update fixes two major security vulnerabilities, which are being used in real-life iPhone cyberattacks.<\/span> (CyberGuy.com)<\/span><\/p>\n

What were the security fixes that Apple made?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\nApple’s security fixes are related to the Kernel and WebKit components of the iOS operating system. The Kernel is the core of the system that manages the hardware and software interactions, while WebKit is the engine that powers the Safari browser on iOS devices. Both of these components had flaws that could allow an attacker to execute\u202f arbitrary code<\/u><\/a>\u202fwith kernel privileges or through malicious web content. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once the spyware is on an iOS device, it can take audio recordings, photos, videos, location history, and more and share them with the hacker. It can also steal contact information, browsing history, passwords, and other sensitive data. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Who has been attacked, and should I be worried?\u00a0<\/h2>\nKaspersky reported that they found several dozen iPhones<\/a> that were infected with the new spyware, some of which belonged to senior employees at Kaspersky. The biggest targets as of now appear to be people like journalists, politicians, business executives, human rights activists, and other high-profile figures. Average civilians likely will not be attacked; however, you should still update your iOS devices with this new software as soon as you can. <\/p>\n
