A U.S. Department of Homeland Security agency issued an alert to Apple product users this week due to a security vulnerability for iPhones, iPads, and MacOS devices as Apple announced it was releasing security updates for those flaws.

The threat was substantial enough to draw an alert from the DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which issued a statement on Feb. 14. Apple’s updates include iOS 16.3.1, iPadOS 16.3.1, and macOS’s Ventura 13.2.1, while the firm is rolling out Safari 16.3.1 to older Apple operating systems—including macOS Big Sur and macOS Monterey.
