Urgent Apple Alert!

Regarding Mobile, IPAD & IPOD

CIO Landing wants to give you a heads up on some recent vulnerabilities with Apple iOS that can allow an attacker to gain access to devices without the user doing anything (i.e. clicking a link or file attachment). There are simple steps that you can take ASAP to protect against these vulnerabilities.

Please double check that your devices are up to date. If you use iPhone or Apple devices for personal use, update them to the latest operating system (14.8 for iPhone and 7.6.2 if you use an Apple Watch). The iOS 14.8 update addresses two serious security vulnerabilities that Apple believes are being actively used to attack their iOS. This most recent update addresses these security vulnerabilities and will help keep you protected.

Here are some simple instructions from Apple to check if you are already running iOS14.8:
