iPhone and iPad users in India have been asked to urgently update their devices to the latest software versions.

The Indian government's IT security organisation CERT-In (Indian Computer Emergency Response Team) has asked users to update their iPhone and iPad devices to the latest iOS 14.7.1 and iPadOS 14.7.1 versions.

The latest versions reportedly fix a memory corruption zero-day flaw that the Indian government has confirmed is being actively exploited.

CERT-In has reportedly said a successful breach of these weaknesses could allow hackers to gain access to a targeted system.
