1:28 am
a drugs test off to video em. i'd showing up pointing with friends, video lead to calls from our political allies and opponents to take a voluntary test that he 6 year old. marian says she's never used illegal drugs and could have performed her duties on the night of the party if she had to test results are expected within a week. meanwhile, and the basil october, i have nothing to hide. i have not used drugs and therefore i have no problem taking tests. i do find it pretty strange that this is something that's being demanded of me. apple uses with the i phone 6 s or later models have been asked to update their phone software as soon as possible because of security flaws . tech giant says hackers could sees full control of its phones, tablets, computers, other devices in fact, that include new model. i pads and macs running on mac os monterey and above. apple technicians have sent out an emergency software update to uses. robert pritchard is a cyber security advisor,
1:29 am
director of the cyber capacity unit. he says apple using it uses amy to take this matter seriously. is in fact he's all as to vulnerabilities and they are so called 0 days, which in cybersecurity job on means that they were being used by somebody finishes purpose. and apple, apple found dice back to after the fact apple apple is that it's serious. they, they have to be competent security team. so if they say serious on actual there, right, there's actually quite a vigorous classification progress process. these kind of exploits the job, people in high risk groups should done update promptly, but i would encourage you to do that anyways. just to practice because it's cross platform sites or is your, your i phone your i pad your mac. if you allude to a malicious website or somebody sent you a link to a malicious website, this appears to be at least from my reading of it and attack it could potentially take care of your device effectively. get a bed potentially install their own software on your device and,
1:30 am
and from there they can do largely, whatever they want, such as, get your contact information, potentially copy a re viable that kind of thing. get all the kind of sensitive information that would be useful to an attacker. it's quite likely and again, i'm speculate, but it's quite likely that these floors been used relatively sparingly and that probably nation states now it could be nation states out will thing they do to companies like vanessa group who have a reputation to talk to mobile devices and now there are other companies in that space as well, but as a black market gray market, perhaps for this kind old, from the busy time, it was for the scott to think would probably fetch quite a lot of money. so i would imagine it would be limited to very well resourced groups, at least i put it like that whoever that monday out as more and everything right here out there a dot com for plenty more. and on top stories and also analysis that takes you behind the headlines, algae is there a dot com ah
