iPhone 16 and other users have got a security risk alert from the Indian government this week. The new warning has been issued just a few days after Apple released the iOS 18.6 update for users that comes with a host of security fixes. <\/span><\/p>\n

An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted requests on the targeted system.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
