Apple issues security patches for... just about everything | #CyberSecurity #Updates #Awareness | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it
If you have a piece of Apple technology in your house or office, chances are that it’s time you updated it.


On Monday Apple issued security patches for all of its major operating systems – fixing vulnerabilities in iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, the Safari browser, and iCloud for Windows.
iPhones and iPads, for instance, now have access to new version of the iOS operating system – version 10.2.1. In a support knowledgebase article, Apple shares details of a host of vulnerabilities that iOS 10.2.1 reportedly fixes, including a flaw that allowed devices to be automatically unlocked even when users were not wearing a linked Apple Watch.


In addition, updating to iOS 10.2.1 is said to fix two very serious remote code execution flaws that Google vulnerability researchers uncovered in Apple’s code. Such vulnerabilities potentially, if left unpatched, could be abused by criminal hackers eager to install malware onto targeted devices.
