You might want to update your Iphone
 
I received an email today from a Techie newsletter that said there was an important Iphone update recently. When I went to Settings, General, Software Update it searched and found an update that needed to be installed. Here's the article.

Why the Latest Apple iOS Update is a Must Install

Late last week, a dangerous flaw in Apple's iOS operating system was uncovered. The vulnerability allows hackers to access your location, view any data on your phone, track keystrokes to see things like passwords and text messages, and even use the device's camera and microphone to spy on you.

What makes this vulnerability particularly scary is that it's being used by hackers today and that it's incredibly easy to compromise your phone or tablet. All you have to do is click on a link in a text message, which could appear to come from a legitimate source.

Fortunately, all you have to do to nix this vulnerability is update your iPhone or iPad to iOS 9.3.5—which only takes a few clicks to accomplish.

Find out how this vulnerability was discovered and get our advice on updating your iOS devices in our story on Techlicious.
