24/7 Wall St. recently reported on Apple:

Last Thursday, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) released a security update for its iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch operating systems. The patches are numbered iOS 14.4.2 for the iPhone, iPadOS 14.4.2 and watchOS 7.3.3. Apple also has released patches for operating systems on older devices, including iPhone 5S, 6 and 6 Plus, along with several iPads and the 6th generation iPod touch.

According to the Apple Support site, the patch fixes a hole in the operating systems that processes “maliciously crafted web content and may lead to universal cross site scripting.” Apple said it has received a “report that this issue may have been actively exploited.” What this means is that an infected device could, for example, direct people to a phishing site that could harvest personal data. Apple recommends installing the update.
