Apple urges iPhone users to update to iOS 18 to fix serious data theft bug
iPhone users are advised to update to iOS 18 to fix a serious bug that allows hackers to access sensitive data without user consent. This vulnerability affects the system that notifies users when apps try to access personal information. The bug, discovered by Jamf Threat Labs, impacts both iPhones and Macs. It prevents notifications from appearing when apps seek access to data like photos and GPS location, potentially compromising user privacy. Apple has released iOS 18 to address this issue, and users can update their devices through the Settings app. The upcoming iOS 18.2 will also introduce new features, but users have reported glitches and battery issues with the current version.
