If you’re an iPhone user, it’s essential to update your device’s operating system immediately. Apple has released iOS 18.3.1, which fixes a critical security vulnerability that could allow attackers to access locked iPhones.
According to Apple’s support page, the vulnerability could enable attackers to disable the USB Restricted Mode, which prevents USB accessories from connecting to a locked iPhone after an hour.
The feature is designed to protect user data from unauthorized access.
The security vulnerability could be exploited by attackers to target specific individuals, which is why Apple has released the update.
iPhone users are advised to update their devices as soon as possible to ensure their data remains secure.
Note: iOS 18.3.1 is available for iPhone XS and later models. iPhones released before 2017 are not compatible with this update.
