Ministry of Industry and Information Technology warning: Attackers exploit vulnerabilities in Apple devices to launch attacks, which could lead to remote control of the device.

CoinWorld.com news: Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s Network Security Threats and Vulnerabilities Information Sharing Platform monitored and found that attackers are using exploit tools targeting Apple’s endpoint products to carry out network attack activities, which can cause serious harms such as information theft and system takeover. The affected scope includes Apple endpoint products such as iPhone and iPad running iOS 13.0 to 17.2.1. Attackers lure users into using the Safari browser to visit web pages containing malicious code through methods such as SMS, email, or web page poisoning, and then, by making comprehensive use of security vulnerabilities present in the terminal devices, implant remote-control Trojans into the victim terminal products, steal sensitive user information, obtain the highest privileges, and control them. Users of Apple endpoint products are advised to conduct thorough risk checks, and fix the vulnerabilities as soon as possible by upgrading to newer versions and installing patches. Pay attention to system update notifications and the latest security update announcements released by Apple, upgrade to the latest security versions in a timely manner, strengthen awareness of secure usage, avoid clicking on unknown links, and prevent risks from network attacks.
