According to BlackCloak CEO Chris Pierson, you should update your Apple devices.

Recently, Apple issued a series of security updates, informing that the company discovered a vulnerability that affects many of its devices, from iPads to iPhones to Apple Watches.

Affected products also include computers, as macOS Monterey, iOS, and Safari are all also at-risk.

“The main message on this to everyone is that if you have not updated your device, you are 100% vulnerable right now, so go immediately update it,” Pierson told Yahoo Finance Live

Though Apple didn’t disclose too many details about the security vulnerabilities.
