Q: IOS safety

Hi:-)

I read an artical on Mashable. It Said that you need to update your IOS system, because of safety Reasons and because of hackers.

I looked it up, and There was SO many articles about it. So I've just updated my iPad from IOS 8.4.1 to the newest IOS. (Haven't done it yet on my iPhone)

But how long has the hack been around? And how does it happen? I've heard it sends a messege to you with a link, bUt is There any way Else it could had happened?

iPad, iOS 8.4.1

The following article describes the security content of iOS 9.3.5. I strongly recommend updating all iOS devices. I updated 4 iDevices in this household with no issues.

This hack is yet to infect a majority of Apple devices.
In this hack, you will receive a message with an unidentified link, which on pressing will take you to a page, which will then crash, and will allow the hacker to access your device.
Its a security measure released by Apple after they introduced iOS 9.3.5. It is responsible to block the access to this website.
Its highly advised that you update to this new update to protect your iOS device.

Regards.
