I got it from a Google News article, the source is Alabama Daily News: https://www.al.com/
It sites Fox news as one of its sources. Here is the direct link to the article, but it has a lot of ad garbage so I copied out portions of the article. https://www.al.com/news/2026/01/iphone-warning-millions-of-devices-at-risk-of-attack-apple-warns-update-now.html 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 From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Flor Lynch Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2026 9:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Importance of updating Apple devices >From what publication was this 'article from yesterday'?

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.
