This makes it more dangerous than a normal flaw, since bad actors will potentially have had more than 100 days to become aware of it. It's the same flaw that a Google hacker had previously uncovered, and that was initially fixed with iOS 12.3. Motherboard reported on the flaw a few days ago, after it was identified by security researchers. We explain what the security issue is, and what steps Apple is taking to address it (again). Needless to say, Apple is hard at work fixing the issue with a further patch update. Although hacking an iPhone is no easy thing, this security risk makes it theoretically possible for a hacker to jailbreak an iPhone using a compromised app. If your iPhone is running iOS 12.4 - and since it auto-updates, it likely is - then your device will be affected by this flaw. The newest iOS update, iOS 12.4, has accidentally unpatched an old security flaw that it had previously addressed, researchers have found.
