Apple fixes embarrassing security bug that could have read your passwords out loud


A new update was released for iOS 18 and iPadOS 18

Apple has released a new security update for iOS 18.0.1 and iPadOS 18.0.1 addressing the way accessibility features handle stored passwords, following speculation details could have been accidentally leaked. The company rarely shares details about security updates it releases, and this time is no exception - so there is much about the vulnerability and the patch we don’t know. This is a screen reader, built into different Apple products (macOS, tvOS, and more), which the users can bring up to “speak” to the device and have the output spoken back to them.
