The cyber agency CERT-IN has issued a high alert, revealing security flaws in these Apple devices that pose a threat to millions of users. Let’s find out which devices are under threat and how you can protect yourself.

According to information on the official CERT-IN site, iPhones running OS versions older than 18.6, iPads running older than 17.7.9/18.6, MacBooks running older than Sequoia 15.6, Sonoma 14.7.7, and Ventura 13.7.7, Apple Watches running older than watchOS 11.6, Apple TVs running older than tvOS 18.6, and visionOS running older than 2.6 are all at risk.

If your device is running on any of these older operating systems, be cautious, as security flaws could allow hackers to steal your personal information. They could also take control of your device, bypass security locks, and, most importantly, cause financial damage by breaching the system.

To protect yourself, CERT-IN recommends installing the latest software updates released by Apple, which address the security flaws. Avoid clicking on any suspicious links.
