iOS 14.8 - 18H17 has been released for some iDevices

 iOS  14.8  - 18H17 has been released for some iDevices. This is the new update for iOS 14.7.1that was released by Apple on the 26th July 2021. 

The new iOS 14.8 includes a fix for an NSO zero-click exploits found on a Saudi activist's phone. This update is coming after security researchers uncovered a flaw that allows highly invasive spyware from Israel’s NSO Group to infect anyone’s iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch or Mac computer without so much as a click. 

To be on the safe side, we think it will be in your own interest to install this new update.

iOS 14.8 is out, and it's security fixes, including one that was reported by @citizenlab — which said in August that it found zero-click NSO Group attacks on Bahraini activists using current iPhones https://t.co/3DxeKVtuLi pic.twitter.com/HVG6JbvyeE
