Here is an article from yesterday: iPhone warning: Millions of devices at risk of attack, Apple warns; update now
Published: Jan. 20, 2026, 6:37 a.m. According to Fox News, Apple recently confirmed two critical vulnerabilities in WebKit, the browser engine that powers Safari and all browsers on iOS. The issues allowed cyber attackers to gain control of the device and possibly steal password or access sensitive payment information. Apple released a fix as soon the problem was discovered and the patch is included in the latest software update. However, only about 50% of users have updated to iOS26, reports indicate. Affected devices include: iPhone 11 and later iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later iPad Air 3rd generation and later iPad 8th generation and later iPad mini 5th generation and later The best defense against the flaw is update your device. "Keeping your software up to date is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your Apple product's security," Apple's website said. If your iPhone is not running either iOS 26.2 or iOS 18.7.3, you should update it now. Richard, USA, he only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance." -- Alan Watts (1915-1973) My web site: https://www.turner42.com -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
