Apple security flaws could let hackers take over your device

Apple has reported several security problems affecting its products that could let someone take control of a device, install unwanted software, or access and change personal information. Updating affected Apple devices as soon as possible can help block these risks.


Who is at risk

Anyone using an Apple device, especially people who delay updates or use accounts with full control over the device, may be at risk.

What to watch for

Watch for unusual pop-ups, apps you did not install, unexpected account changes, or a device acting strangely or slowing down without a clear reason.

What to do

Check for and install the latest updates on all Apple devices immediately, and use a standard account instead of a full-control account when possible.
