This week Apple released a series of patches for several zero-day vulnerabilities for iOS that have already been exploited by bad actors to install spyware and steal personal data. So you'll want to update your phone as soon as possible.
iOS 16.5.1, which is now available to download if you have an iPhone 8 or newer, fixes a major security flaw that allowed hackers to access all of the personal data stored on your iPhone. This particular vulnerability was first detected in Russia, where thousands of Russian government officials have reportedly had their iPhones infected with spyware. It's a kernel issue that lets bad actors execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges, meaning hackers can run whatever code they want on a targeted device.
