Hackers may have exploited security flaws – Apple

Apple has released an update to fix security flaws on its iPhone, iPad and Mac devices, which it says hackers may have “actively exploited”.

The tech company said the new software “provides important security updates and is recommended for all users”.

The flaw could allow hackers to take complete control of affected devices, industry experts have suggested.

The update has been made available to iPhone 6s and later, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and later and iPad 5th gen and later.

It is also available to the iPad mini 4 and later versions and the iPod touch (7th generation). Mac users running macOS Monterey are also being encouraged to update.
