Apple has a set of security measures to stop the electronic attack that the bank is taking into account.
But his lock position is one of the most “maximum” protection features you can get on the iPhone.

It mainly spends all your precious data and sensitive information.
“The lock mode is optional and it should be used only if you think you may be targeted through a very advanced electronic attack, such as a private company developing state mercenary spy programs,” according to Apple.
While most people do not target this level of attack, Apple warned millions of iPhone owners last night of an advanced electronic attack against “targeted individuals specific”.
The technology giant urged customer to update their devices immediately to avoid the victim.
For iPhone and iPad users with automatic updates, the correction must be installed already.
Everyone will need to enter their settings and download repairs to iOS 18.4.1 and iPados 18.4.1.
The electronic attack affects dozens of Apple products, including approximately 30 iPhone:
- iPhone Xs
- iPhone Xs Max
- iPhone 11
- iPhone 11 Pro

- iPhone SE (2nd Gen)
- iPhone 12

Apple security update, entitled IOS 18.4.1, correction of two electronic defects.
One can allow the spread of malware through the dodging media file, according to Adam Bointon, director of security strategy at Cyber Jamf.
Silvan Cortis, Vice President of the Strategy in the Hurricity, noted that the media file can inject harmful programs through “sound flow”.
“For individual users and institutions alike, it is not recommended to quickly install the iOS 18.4.1, it's necessary,” Curtis said.
While the second defect allowed the infiltrators to reach parts of the target iPhone memory.
Bointon added: “The fact that these two weak vulnerabilities are very sophisticated to exploit them explaining why Apple has noticed the attacks only against the targeted individuals,” Bointon added.
“However, the limited range of these attacks should not deter users from updating their devices immediately.”
How to use a lock mode
Lockdown mode is prohibited for iPhone functions key from work, such as:
- SharePlay
- Joint albums
- Vacetime live photos
- FaceTime continuity delivery
This is so that infiltrators cannot access your own information.
Applications, websites and features are strictly limited to safety.
Here's how to run it:
Go to Settings > Privacy and security > LockThen click Run the lock mode.
If you prepare Apple Watch using your iPhone, it will run on Lockdown mode in the associated Apple Watch.
“For full protection, all your devices must be run,” says Apple.
