Apple’s New Security Update: Ahead of the iPhone 17 series India launch, Apple has released a new security update for iPhones, iPads, and Macs after finding a serious software flaw (CVE-2025-43300). If you use an iPhone or iPad that supports iOS 18 or iPadOS 18, you should install the latest iOS 18.6.2 update right away. This update is crucial because it fixes a major security issue that hackers recently exploited. Moreover, Apple strongly recommends all users to update their devices to stay protected.
This vulnerability is particularly dangerous for those in the cryptocurrency sector, cybersecurity experts warned. Unlike traditional finance, where stolen funds can sometimes be recovered, crypto transactions are irreversible. Adding further, Apple describes this vulnerability as involving the processing of a malicious image file, which could result in memory corruption, and notes that the issue may have been exploited in an “extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals.” (Also Read: WhatsApp May Soon Get Voicemail-Like Feature For Unanswered Calls On Android- Details Here)
