Apple iPhone 13 release forced to compete with company’s security flaw


Full story

Apple’s much-anticipated release of the iPhone 13 was overshadowed by a security flaw impacting iPhones, iPads, iWatch, and Mac computers.

The flaw allows hackers to eavesdrop or steal important information by sending a photo via iMessage, according to researchers at the University of Toronto’s Citizen’s Lab who first uncovered the issue back on March 7. 

In response, the tech giant released a security update and encouraged all of its users to immediately update their devices.

Israeli spyware company called NSO group is allegedly responsible for the zero-click hack.
