An urgent update for the "iPhone" devices due to a security flaw
The American company "Apple" introduced a new update on iPhones and iPads, with the aim of fixing a defect that appeared in the main browser engine "Safari" and other browsers.
And specialized technical sites indicated that the giant company is aware of the existence of a loophole that has been exploited by some to penetrate iPhones and iPads, but there are not many details about the size and scope of the hack. She added that the update sent to users in iOS 14.4.2 and iPadOS 14.4.2 will fix the security issue.
This security problem is called Zero-day, because the vulnerability finder does not leave any day that passes without being exploited in attacks, because it is in a race against time, and if the vulnerability is discovered, the doors to the breach are blocked. This type of cyber attack relies on security flaws in the applications that are unknown to their developers. Anyone can do the update, by going to Settings, choosing the General category, and clicking on the Software Update option.
Last June, Apple made updates to the "Safari" browser, which contains many features such as translation and high speed. The browser, in turn, received many distinctive new updates.
