The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a critical alert for iPhone and iPad users, urging them to install the latest software updates immediately to patch serious vulnerabilities in iOS and iPadOS.
These security flaws, particularly in the Darwin notification system, could enable malicious apps to send unauthorized system-level notifications. This could lead to device crashes or give hackers access to sensitive personal data.
CERT-In has emphasized the importance of updating devices without delay, as these vulnerabilities present significant security risks. Users are also advised to avoid installing unverified apps and remain on the lookout for any unusual behavior from their devices.
Regular software updates and cautious app usage are essential to protect against these evolving cyber threats.
