This flaw will allow an attacker to gain access to the phone through the Wi-Fi chip, resulting in gaining access to the entire phone. Due to this vulnerability, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that users with the devices in question to the latest IOS version (10.3.3) at your earliest opportunity. Process to upgrade: 1. Within your IOS device, go to Settings -> General -> Software Update. 2. Tap either Download and Install or Install Now, whichever displays. Interim measure: If you are unable to update your software, immediately, you can disable your wireless adapter to prevent the attack, described above, from happening. How to Disable Wireless Adapter: 1. Within your IOS device, go to Settings -> Wi-Fi. 2. Click on the slider to the right of Wi-Fi to disable Wi-Fi (the color will change from green to gray) If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.
