iPhone owners were notified on Friday, February 21, about a software update available that includes a fix for a security bug in its iOS software. The issue: current Apple iOS software has a problem recognizing digital certificates used by banking sites, Gmail, Facebook, and other encrypted connections. Please share this information with your department’s Apple device users: If they are using an Apple device on a public Wi-Fi, hackers can exploit the encryption problem and intercept email, financial passwords, and other personal information—they should immediately install the latest updates.
