Attention Apple users! A recent security update from Apple has revealed a critical vulnerability in the iOS 18.2 Passwords app that lasted for three months, leaving users vulnerable to phishing attacks. The bug allowed attackers on the same Wi-Fi network to intercept sensitive information like login credentials by redirecting users to look-alike phishing sites.
Apple has since fixed the issue by implementing HTTPS for sending information over the network, ensuring your data is now encrypted and secure. The bug was first discovered by security researchers at app developer Mysk, who reported it to Apple in September.

Remember to stay vigilant when accessing sensitive information online and always update your devices to the latest software versions to protect yourself from potential threats. Stay safe and be secure!
