Apple has fixed a security vulnerability in its iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and macOS 26 operating systems that the company says “may have been exploited” by hackers. Devices running the latest version, iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, released earlier this month, also received a software update on Tuesday, but are unaffected by the bug under attack. Apple fixed the bug in September with the release of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, and credited ironPeak’s Niels Hofmans with the discovery, alongside security researchers at Meta who confirmed their findings in a post on X.
