The Citizen Lab warned that attackers can compromise iPhones running the most recent version of iOS without any interaction from the phone’s owner and urged everyone to immediately install the update.


The vulnerability was discovered by The Citizen Lab at The University of Torontoʼs Munk School while checking the device of an individual who works at a Washington, D.C.-based civil society organization, the group said in a news release. Apple released a security update Thursday to a patch up a newly discovered vulnerability that was used to install Pegasus spyware on one of its devices.
