ADL Calls for Fox Sports to Condemn Controversial Kanye West Ad

Apple has released critical updates for its iOS and iPadOS systems, addressing a flaw that may have been exploited in sophisticated attacks aimed at specific individuals. According to the company's release notes for versions 18.3.1, the vulnerability allowed the disabling of USB Restricted Mode on locked devices, which is designed to prevent unauthorized data access for seven days if the device is not unlocked.
This security feature, introduced in 2018, was bolstered last year when Apple implemented a mechanism that reboots devices if they remain unlocked for over 72 hours, thus hindering forensic access. The flaw was identified by Bill Marczak of the Citizen Lab, a cyberattack research group at the University of Toronto. It is believed that those exploiting this vulnerability required physical access to the affected devices, potentially utilizing forensic tools like Cellebrite or Graykey.
While Apple did not comment on the identity of the attackers, previous reports, including one from Amnesty International, have documented law enforcement's use of such tools against activists and journalists. The full extent of the exploitation remains unclear.
