Apple just rolled out a crucial update to fix a sneaky zero-day bug that was actively being used by hackers. This flaw didn’t just target iPhones—it also impacted iPads, Macs, Apple TVs, Apple Watches, and even the Vision Pro headset. Yep, it was a big deal.

The issue was hiding in Core Media, the tech that powers media playback across Apple’s devices. Hackers could have exploited a memory corruption glitch to gain higher access to your device, potentially snooping on your data. Not cool, right? While Apple didn’t name any researchers or groups behind the exploit, they’ve patched it up in their latest software updates.

This is the first zero-day bug discovered in iOS this year that was actively being exploited in the wild. For context, Apple has already fixed seven similar vulnerabilities in 2024 alone.

If you haven’t updated your Apple devices yet, now’s the time. Keeping your software current is the best way to stay ahead of these kinds of threats. Stay safe out there!
