Doha: Qatar’s National Cyber Security Agency (NCSA) has urged iPhone users to immediately update their devices following a recent security alert issued by Apple regarding actively exploited vulnerabilities in iOS.

The agency warned that these vulnerabilities could allow hackers to carry out espionage activities or even take control of devices simply by visiting malicious websites or clicking on harmful links.

According to NCSA, Apple has already released multiple security updates, with the latest issued on March 11. Devices running newer versions, from iOS 15 up to iOS 26, are now protected. However, older versions such as iOS 13 and iOS 14 have been specifically targeted and are expected to receive updates soon.

The agency strongly advised users to install updates as soon as they become available and to avoid opening suspicious links or messages from unknown sources to stay protected
