If you have an iPhone, iPad or Mac, you need to update it today, because Apple has just fixed two zero-day exploits that could allow hackers to steal your private data. In fact, Apple says the vulnerabilities have been actively exploited in the wild, meaning the danger isn’t just hypothetical.

Security notes from Apple (via Bleeping Computer) explain that both issues relate to the company’s WebKit browser engine that's used in Safari on all platforms, and in every browser that runs on iOS and iPadOS (including those made by third-party developers). They affect iOS, iPadOS and macOS, which means the reach of these vulnerabilities is potentially huge.
