Over the weekend, news broke regarding a significant security flaw in the Apple operating systems (both iOS for mobile devices and MacOS for systems). While it is unclear how long the issue has existed, there is no doubt that it is an easily exploited flaw that presents a great risk to users of any Apple device.

Updates have now been issued for iOS and MacOS. ITS is in the process of updating all the MacOS devices on campus. Users must accept the update directly from Apple for mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, etc). A reboot may be required. Please take a moment to be sure that you have updated your Apple devices, both university owned and personal.

Thank you for your help with this very important update.
