This isn’t theoretical. It’s happening now.

3/ The flaw impacts:

📱 iPhone XS & later
📱 iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad 7th gen & later

You need to update to iOS 18.6.2 and iPadOS 18.6.2 IMMEDIATELY.

(Fortunately, it's a pretty quick update.)

4/ Cybersecurity firm MalwareBytes warns:

👉 Hackers can corrupt memory
👉 Crash processes
👉 Insert malicious code with permissions you should NEVER allow

Translation: They can take over your phone.

5/ How to update:
