CUPERTINO, California – Apple is appealing to iPhone and iPad users to update their devices to fix security flaws that could have been ‘actively exploited’ by hackers.
Apple made the software upgrades available Tuesday, adding a rare remark that indicates it is a serious threat.
The company credited anonymous researchers for pointing out the vulnerability, but provided little detail about the nature of the threat.
The company said one of the vulnerabilities affected the ‘core’, the nerve center of Apple’s operating system, iOS.
The upgrade is for several generations of devices, starting with the iPhone 6.
