Apple Urges iPhone & iPad Device Users to Download iOS 14.4.2 Urgently to Fix Malware Issues

Faizel Patel – 29/03/2021

Apple has urged all iPhone and iPad users to urgently update their iOS to 14.4.2 following security threats to their devices.

Forbes reports that the tech giant stressed users of the affected devices to download iOS 14.4.2 as soon as possible to fix the malware in Apple’s WebKit browser engine which has already been actively exploited.

“The security flaw exists in all iPhones and iPads running in earlier iOS versions and attackers may already be using these details to attack people’s Apple devices”.

Owner of iPhones including iPhone 6, iPhone 5S and older iPads must update their iOS to version 12 operating systems, as Apple has already released iOS 12.5.2 version.
