New Apple device flaw could let hackers take control

Apple has identified a flaw affecting some Mac, iPhone, and iPad software that could let someone take control of a device if it is not updated. If exploited, this could allow unwanted changes, data access, or the installation of harmful software.


Who is at risk

People using Apple devices, especially those who have not installed the latest software updates on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad, are most at risk.

What to watch for

Watch for unexpected pop-ups, apps you did not install, settings that change on their own, or unusual device behavior such as crashes or slowdowns.

What to do

Check for and install the latest Apple software updates on all Macs, iPhones, and iPads right away, and avoid using an administrator account for everyday activity if possible.
