| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] US cyber officials are urging millions of Americans to update their Apple devices or risk being hacked. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is instructing people to update their devices to the newest iOS system immediately. The iOS 17.6 update, released Monday, included 35 security fixes to protect users from hackers stealing their personal data, location or taking control of the iPhone. This update applies to all iPhone Xs, Xs Max and XR phones issued in 2018 or later. One of the security patches addressed a flaw in the iPhone’s operating system that allowed hackers to cause the software to shut down and a separate bug that permitted apps to disregard user’s privacy preferences.
