The government has issued a new security warning for iPhone, iPad users. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-in) has kept this warning for Apple iPhone and iPad users in a highweight category. This warning of the government has also been confirmed by Apple. Apple’s latest iPhone 16 has also been listed in this security warning. The company will soon release a new update for this.

Security warning

According to CERT-in, this problem has been seen in some core files of iOS. Hackers can target Apple iPhone and iPad users by taking advantage of this security flow. The report states that apps can send notifications without any permission to users, which opens a door to enter the device due to any permission. Taking advantage of this, hackers can create such apps, which can send fake system notifications to users.

Because of this, the apps of iPhone or iPad users can be crashed or stop working, which can prove to be extremely dangerous. According to the report, users may face this problem in the version before iOS 18.3. At the same time, this problem will come in the version of ipados 17.7.3 or earlier.
