[Nathaniel Schmidt]

Hi, sorry if this has already been posted and I missed it.  I just received
this message from one of my antivirus software providers and they don't
always make a habit of sending emails like this, so I guess it's pretty
important.  If you want more info then go to:

Regards,

            Security Alert  

 

            Update to iOS 14.4 immediately to address critical
vulnerabilities   

                        

 

            What is happening?

Apple released iOS 14.4 for iPhones and iPadOS 14.4 for iPads to address
three critical vulnerabilities in its mobile operating systems that may
already be actively targeted by hackers. The vulnerabilities target the
kernel, the core of iOS, and WebKit, the web browser engine behind Safari.


 

            You can read about the specifics of the vulnerabilities on
Apple's Support site.

 

What should I do about it?

If you have any of the following iOS or iPadOS devices: 

.           iPhone 6s and later

.           iPad Air 2 and later

.           iPad Mini 4 and later

.           iPod Touch (7th generation)

 

 

            You should update your operating system to iOS 14.4 or iPadOS
14.4 immediately by following Apple's instructions for iPhones and iPads.
