Apple Warns of iPhone Hack Risk, Releases Urgent Security Patch

Hack - Data Breach

Apple has issued an urgent warning to iPhone users worldwide to update their devices to iOS 18.5 as soon as possible.

The update fixes a serious security flaw that could allow hackers to access personal data such as photos, messages, and app information.

The vulnerability involves two weak spots in the iPhone’s software. Hackers can exploit these by sending specially crafted images or videos that cause the phone to crash or expose its memory, opening a way for attackers to steal data.

The iOS 18.5 update, released on May 12, is available for iPhone XS and later models. It improves the way the system handles risky files, blocking hackers from exploiting the flaw.

Experts emphasize that updating your iPhone is essential to protect your privacy.

Delaying the update leaves your device vulnerable, especially for older users or those less familiar with technology. Apple urges everyone to install iOS 18.5 immediately to close this security gap.
