Apple iPhone users have recently been the victims of dangerous security breaches made by a mysterious cyber-hacking group, and as a response, Apple has recently released the all-new iOS 9.3.5, which has made all the necessary fixes to ensure the safety of all iPhone devices.
While most software updates really don't offer major significant changes, Apple users aren't too keen on updating their products as frequently as they should, but now people who use iPhones are told that upgrading to iOS 9.3.5 is essential for security reasons.
According to a report from The New York Times, an Israeli-based digital arms group has recently been hacking into Apple products, taking advantage of vulnerabilities in the iPhone's software's security. The entity called the "NSO Group" have been using their own software to spy on journalists and notable dissidents.
With it, the NSO Group are able to read text messages and emails, record sounds, and even monitor the iPhone user to track their whereabouts. This is certainly a cause for alarm, as the users have no knowledge that they are being watched and followed. The shadowy NSO Group have long boasted that their tracking software "worked like a ghost" and cannot be traced.
In a response to the security dilemma, Apple has released the late operating software for the iPhone, iOS 9.3.5. Finder states that the new software will fix the issues that could lead to the malfunctioning of the system's operating kernel, memory corruption, and the possibility of the execution of arbitrary code by malicious websites on the device. Upgrading to iOS 9.3.5 heightens the security of the iPhone, basically.
With the release of the iPhone 7 which will run on the latest iOS 10 software coming soon, it is still imperative for users to update to the iOS 9.3.5 to ensure safety while waiting for the newer version to become available.
