Apple asks iPhone owners to install iOS 13.5 as quickly as possible for their own safety

Apple later published an appeal to iPhone users, in which it strongly recommends that they install this update as soon as possible, as it closes serious security holes in the operating system.

The German Federal Security Agency (BSI) also calls on iPhone users to install firmware 13.5 as soon as possible. In particular, a vulnerability is mentioned in the mail application, which allows access to the personal data of users.

It is reported that this security vulnerability was discovered by a network security startup ZecOps, which confirmed that all current versions of iOS up to iOS 13.5 are vulnerable. Using this vulnerability, attackers can easily gain access to user files.

As previously reported, this firmware changes the algorithm for recognizing users by faces when using protective masks. When the iPhone detects that the user is wearing a mask and cannot recognize it by the eyes, it will immediately open the password entry screen.
