If you are using an iPhone or iPad, it is important to update your device to iOS 16.6.1 as soon as possible to protect yourself from this vulnerability!

iOS 16.6.1 update patches serious Pegasus spyware vulnerability

Apple has released an update to iOS, iPadOS, and macOS that patches a serious vulnerability that could have been exploited to install Pegasus spyware on iPhones and iPads.

The vulnerability, which was discovered by Citizen Lab, a research group at the University of Toronto, allows attackers to install Pegasus by sending a maliciously crafted image or attachment to the victim. The victim does not need to open the image or attachment for the malware to be installed.

Pegasus is a powerful spyware tool that can be used to track a victim's location, record their calls and messages, and even access their camera and microphone. It has been used by governments to spy on journalists, activists, and other dissidents.

The iOS 16.6.1 update, which is available now, patches the vulnerability that allowed Pegasus to be installed. Apple recommends that all users update their devices as soon as possible.
