Update your iPhone — Apple just disclosed hackers may have 'actively exploited' a vulnerability in its iOS

Apple on Tuesday released a new iOS software update that includes fixes for three security weaknesses in the former version.

The company said on its support website that it is aware of the three security bugs and that they "may have been actively exploited." The company also said it does not disclose details regarding security issues "until an investigation has occurred."

Apple did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. TechCrunch first reported the news. To protect the security of their iPads and iPhones, Apple users should immediately update to iOS 14.4, which the company rolled out with fixes for the security flaws.
