Apple security flaw may allow hackers full control of devices, company warns
Major security vulnerabilities found in iOS and macOS devices could allow potential hackers complete control of a user’s device, Apple warned on Wednesday. The company quietly published two security reports this past week on the vulnerability citing an anonymous researcher for the discovery.
Both bugs exist within WebKit, Apple’s browser engine that powers Safari and applications. Based on the reports provided by Apple, the first vulnerability would allow a hacker complete access to a user’s device. Rachel Tobac, CEO of SocialProof Security, told NPR that this could allow potential attackers to impersonate the device’s owner and run any kind of software in their name. She added that those “within the public eye” like journalists and activists should be attentive in getting the update.
A second vulnerability was found as well for browser engines used by Safari, Mail, and other iOS applications. According to the company’s security report, this security flaw allows attackers to arbitrarily execute code that could download malware onto a user’s device.
Apple’s reports are sparse on details and also don’t explain in detail how and where the vulnerabilities work or come from, only citing an anonymous researcher for the discovery of both vulnerabilities. Security experts are warning that the vulnerability affects almost all iPhone devices and Mac computers running macOS Monterey, NPR reported.
The tech giant has not said how many users have been affected but said it’s “aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited,” according to Fortune.
The good news from all of this is that Apple has already released patches to combat the bugs. So all you need to do is update your iOS and Mac devices and you should be all set. However, with the prevalence of commercial spyware firms, the bad news is this won’t be the last time your device may be in danger.

Priti Patel, speaking exclusively to The Sun on a visit this week to Premier League side Brentford, is determined not to let the small minority ruin matches for true fans.
The Home Secretary said: “There is the very real threat to football hooligans of their passports being taken away from them for six weeks.
“Their liberty and freedoms are going to be restricted and they won’t be going to Qatar if they receive a Football Banning Order.
“So if they behave badly and stop law-abiding fans enjoying the game at one of their team’s home matches, it’s going to stop them from travelling internationally.”

The courts can hand out Football Banning Orders if supporters attack or abuse other fans, staff or players as well as any related online hate crime.
The measures can be customised to prevent a supporter’s offending behaviour by hitting them with travel constraints particularly on match days and during overseas tournaments.
The football authorities, including the FA, Premier League and EFL, also now report all offenders at games to the police which can affect their employment and education record.
Measures also include increased use of sniffer dogs at games.

Anyone entering the pitch without permission or carrying smoke bombs or pyrotechnics will now receive an automatic club ban, which can also be extended to family members of those carrying out the act.
Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters last night said: “Everyone should feel safe and able to enjoy a football match.
“In coming together with clubs and partners across football, we are making clear the type of incidents we saw last season must stop.
“If we don’t take collective and sustained action, it may only be a matter of time before someone is seriously injured, or worse.”
