Day 𝟓𝟏/𝟏𝟎𝟎 Read that “𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗣𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗣𝗮𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀”. CERT-In or the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, has issued a high severity for Apple iOS and iPad OS devices. As per the warning, multiple vulnerabilities were found in Apple iOS and iPadOS, which can possibly let someone attack the system to make it stop working, run any code they want, access sensitive information, and get around security measures. The security flaw impacts iOS and iPadOS versions earlier than 16.7.6 for devices like iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X, iPad 5th generation, iPad Pro 9.7-inch, and iPad Pro 12.9-inch 1st generation. It also affects versions before v17.4 for devices like iPhone XS and newer, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2nd generation and newer, iPad Pro 10.5-inch, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and newer, iPad Air 3rd generation and newer, iPad 6th generation and newer, and iPad mini 5th generation and newer. There are also privacy problems in ExtensionKit, Messages, Share Sheet, Synapse & Notes parts. Another problem is that ImagelO can get too full, and the kernel & RTKit parts can have memory mistakes. Safari Private Browsing & Sandbox have a logic issue, while Siri has a lock screen problem, and CoreCrypto has a timing problem. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀: •Update software •Install security patches •Use secure connections •Enable two factor authentication •Be cautious with downloads •Regularly backup data •Stay informed #100dayschallenge #learninginprogress #apple #vulnerabilities Reference: https://lnkd.in/gbtJNCmU

Well, there you have it! Another year, another Apple WWDC Keynote checked off the list! 🚀✨ There are too many changes and new features to list, but here are a few of my favourites! - New AirPod Pro gestures: Shake your head to say no to Siri! - Mirror your iPhone to your Mac - New design controls and app icons for iOS - A fresh design for control center for iOS - A new photos app - iMessage formatting - Transcribing for phone call - Hide and lock apps - Scheduled iMessages - New Mail features and categories Plus, hundreds of other tweaks and changes. The two things I’m MOST excited about though; 🔑 A new dedicated password app: While it might not replace enterprise-level solutions, anything that helps consumers create and store secure passwords and passkeys is a win in my book! 🤖 Apple Intelligence: In true Apple style, they might not be the first to market with this, but you know they’ll implement it in a way that just works. More to come out of this week, with sessions detailing new features for managing the latest macOS (Sequoia) within business environments. We'll be following this closely!
