Critical Security Alert: Update Your Apple Devices Immediately

Apple recently addressed a critical vulnerability, and we want to ensure that you and your devices are protected. A security update was released to address a zero-day vulnerability impacting the ImageIO framework.

What does this vulnerability mean?

This zero-click exploit can be triggered simply by receiving an image through iMessage, WhatsApp, Signal, email, or other messaging platforms. Meaning you don’t even have to open the message or click on the image to be compromised, making it even more sophisticated. Just receiving the image can allow an attacker to execute malicious code.

What do you need to do?

Because attackers are already actively using this vulnerability, you must update your devices right away. Please take a moment today to check your devices. On iPhones and iPads, go to Settings → General → Software Update and confirm you are running iOS 18.6.2, iPadOS 18.6.2, or 17.7.10.

Not an Apple user?

Android users should also check for updates, as several vulnerabilities were patched last month. Staying current with updates is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself against cyberattacks.
