Cybersecurity researchers uncovered dangerous iPhone flaws
that let hackers infiltrate any device linked to the same
Wi-Fi network.
The team at Oligo Security discovered 23 vulnerabilities in
AirPlay, which allows users to stream audio, video and photos
from Apple devices to other smart devices.
The company found that two of the flaws allowed attackers
to weaponize iPhones, allowing them to 'do things like
deploy malware that spreads to devices on any local network
the infected device connects to.'
Oligo named the security flaws and the attacks they enable
'AirBorne' because the attacks are transmitted via wireless
networks and allow hackers to 'fully take over devices'
and exploit them.
The team warned that cybercriminals can exploit the AirPlay
bugs to execute malicious code, steal your personal
information, cause the device to crash and listen to
conversations.
The firm reported these vulnerabilities to Apple, which
released software updates for iPhones, iPads, Macs and
Apple Vision Pro devices to fix the bugs on March 31.

AGAIN !
Too many DEI hires at Apple now ??? Too many
Chinese code writers ???
This sort of news is becoming TOO common. Crap
code with lots of 'back-doors'. Nobody and nothing
seems to CHECK that code.
Result - DISASTERS for the users ... who paid
BIG $$$ for Apple stuff.
Trump should revoke the tariff gaps for Apple -
for national security reasons if nothing else.
