JIMMIE JOHNSON: EVEN AS APPLE CELEBRATES THE LAUNCH OF ITS LATEST AND GREATEST, THE IPHONE 13, THE TECH GIANT IS TRYING TO REMEDY A SERIOUS SECURITY ISSUE.

APPLE ISSUED AN EMERGENCY UPDATE FOR EVERYONE WITH AN IPHONE, IPAD, I-WATCH, OR MAC COMPUTER.

YES, I’M TALKING TO YOU. RESEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO’S CITIZEN LAB UNCOVERED A FLAW THAT ALLOWS YOUR DEVICE TO BE HACKED, WITHOUT YOU EVEN CLICKING ANYTHING.

IT STEMS FROM AN ISRAELI SPYWARE COMPANY BY THE NAME N-S-O GROUP, WHICH CAN HACK YOUR DEVICE BY SENDING A PHOTO THROUGH I-MESSAGE.

ONCE HACKERS GET IN, THEY WOULD THEN BE ABLE TO EAVESDROP OR STEAL DATA FROM YOUR DEVICE.

RESEARCHERS SAY THEY FIRST STARTED LOOKING INTO THIS FLAW BACK IN MARCH AND BROUGHT IT TO APPLE’S ATTENTION ON SEPTEMBER 7TH.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU UPDATED YOUR DEVICE IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.
