New Apple Security Concerns Pose Risk To iPhone and Mac Users

News 18  

Apple iPhone and Mac users have got a new security concern this week which has the potential to let attackers invade their systems and steal data. And if these issues are not fixed, any malicious app can easily bypass Apple’s security to gain data on the user which includes their location details, messages, call history and more. While Apple claims to have patched the loopholes that allowed the spyware to invade its security, Trellix says the steps taken by the company might not be enough to thwart future attacks of similar vein. But the overall feeling in the security circuit suggests that Apple facing multiple zero-day issues at a regular interval does not bode well for the platforms.
