Apple confirms the existence of a series of serious vulnerabilities that can cause iPhones to be hacked

On its support page, Apple has listed the fixed security vulnerabilities including three in the Kernel kernel that could allow an application to grant itself privileges to execute arbitrary code; four vulnerabilities in Safari's Webkit and vulnerabilities in Siri and iCloud voice assistants.

Apple added that hackers have not been able to exploit any of the above security holes to attack users.

Patches for these 22 security holes have been released by Apple in the recent iOS 15.1 and iOS 14.8.1 updates. When releasing these updates, Apple also informs users that these security patches are important and recommended for all users.

Therefore, if your iPhone is using iOS 15, update to iOS 15.1 version, and for those who are using iOS 14, quickly update iOS 14.8.1 now to patch security vulnerabilities. , helping to avoid the risk of being attacked by hackers.

Apple's continuous release of security updates for iPhone users makes many people wonder: Is the iPhone less secure than before?

In fact, the fact that security researchers are trying to find security holes in Apple devices will make the company more careful in protecting users. And the fact that the company rolls out security patches that are deployed quickly to users proves it.
