Experts said that 'hackers' can also access bank accounts in this way.
US-based technology giant Apple has warned of a serious security risk for the iPhone, iPad and iMacs it manufactures, which could allow hackers to take all control. Two security announcements made by the company revealed that there is a danger of hackers taking over the devices completely. Alarmed, the company has released a new security update to fix 35 flaws that put users at risk. The technology giant suggested that users update their devices as soon as possible. Experts said that in this way bank accounts can also be seized.
'Update quickly'
Devices that could be affected by the vulnerability were listed as iPhone 6S and all later iPhone models, 5th generation and later iPads, all iPad Pro and iPad Air 2 models, and all Mac computers running macOS Monterey. Rachel Tobac, CEO of the "SocialProof Security" security company, emphasized that people such as activists and journalists, especially in public, "may be the target of state-level espionage" and emphasized that the system update should be done quickly. On the other hand, Apple did not share the information on how many users were affected by the system vulnerability. It is stated that companies that develop commercial espionage programs, such as the Israeli NSO Group, exploit such system vulnerabilities.
