APPLE WARNS ALL IPHONE AND IPAD OWNERS TO CHECK THEIR DEVICES TODAY, DON'T
IGNORE IT


APPLE HAS ISSUED AN URGENT ALERT TO ALL IPHONE AND IPAD USERS AFTER THE
DISCOVERY OF TWO SERIOUS SECURITY VULNERABILITIES WHICH MAY ALREADY BE BEING
USED BY CYBER CRIMINALS TO HACK DEVICES. HERE'S HOW TO CHECK YOUR PHONE AND
TABLET ARE NOT AFFECTED.

 * What is the issue?
 * How can you stay protected?
 * What other companies are affected?

Owners of iPad and iPhone devices must check that they have the very latest
updates installed or risk being targeted by a very serious security threat that
could leave them open to attack from hackers. Apple has just released two vital
upgrades, called iOS 15.6.1 and iPadOS 15.6.1, with the US technology giant
warning that these latest patches must be installed urgently. The Californian
firm says both the iOS and iPad OS downloads provide important security updates
and are recommended for all users.

WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

Apple's support pages have also been updated to explain more about the issues
which affect the Kernel operating code and WebKit.



It appears hackers have been able to use a flaw in this software to execute
arbitrary code which could then allow them to bypass the usually strict security
measures. This type of threat is one of the most serious as it can allow online
thieves to take full control of devices and run any commands or code of their
choice leaving users open to a range of attacks.

Until the majority of owners have updated their phones and tablets, Apple won't
disclose more about the attack or how many customers have already been affected
but the faster you act the less likely you are to become a victim.

It has been confirmed that both problems may have already been actively
exploited which is why it's so important to make sure your device has the latest
updates installed.



The updates are available for devices including the iPhone 6s and later, iPad
Pro (all models), iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini
4 and later, and iPod touch (7th generation).

HOW CAN YOU STAY PROTECTED?


MILLIONS OF UK BROADBAND USERS WILL BE AFFECTED BY MAJOR CHANGE NEXT WEEK

Millions of UK homes will be able to access cheaper broadband from August 22 as
a new system comes into force aimed at helping those struggling with the cost of
living crisis.

Read more about how to get cheaper broadband HERE.

Here's how to make sure you are running the correct operating system.

On your iPhone or iPad head to Settings, then scroll down and tap General and
hit Software Update. Here you should see any upgrades that Apple has pushed out
to your device.

If your iPhone or iPad hasn't yet been updated, tap the Download and
Install button.

The security patch is around 280MB in size so check you have enough data before
installing away from a Wi-Fi connection. Once downloaded, your device will
restart and will then be safe from this latest threat.

Don't delay and do it now!

Along with the iPhone and iPad, Mac users have also been told to check for
updates as the popular PCs are also affected by the latest threat.

macOS Monterey 12.5.1 is available now with Apple confirming that this update is
recommended for all users and improves the security of macOS.

To update your MacBook or iMac, simply head to the Apple Menu and tap System
Preferences. Then hit Software Update and choose Install.

WHAT OTHER COMPANIES ARE AFFECTED?

It's not just Apple who has issued an urgent software alert this week with
Google also advising Chrome users to upgrade their web browsers.

The US technology giant announced earlier this week that it has fixed a total of
11 flaws in its popular software with some deemed so serious they've been given
a "critical" rating by the firm.

Just like the latest Apple alert, one of the issues has also been labelled with
the dreaded zero-day rating.

The fact that this weakness has that 'zero day' warning is why Google has acted
so fast to push out the latest Chrome upgrade.

The new release, which is called Chrome version 104.0.5112.101 for Mac and Linux
and 104.0.5112.102/101 for Windows, is being rolled out across the globe as we
speak and it's vital that you make sure your Chrome software is upgraded to this
version as soon as possible.
