More scaremongering bollocks
Why are you saying the government & security agencies are scare mongering?
"The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Wednesday added a high-severity flaw impacting iOS, iPadOS, macOS,
tvOS, and watchOS to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog,
based on evidence of active exploitation"
"This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.1, watchOS 9.2, iOS 16.2 and
iPadOS 16.2, tvOS 16.2. "

For the record:
macOS Ventura 13.1 was released in December, 2022; more than a year ago.
watchOS 9.2 was released in December, 2022; more than a year ago.
iOS 16.2 was released in December, 2022; more than a year ago.
iPadOS 16.2 was released in December, 2022; more than a year ago.
tvOS 16.2 was released in December, 2022; more than a year ago.
My previous source goes on:
"Interestingly, patches for the flaw were released on December 13, 2022,
with the release of iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, macOS Ventura 13.1, tvOS
16.2, and watchOS 9.2, although it was only publicly disclosed more than
a year later on January 9, 2024."
So, yeah: A year later, this is just scaremongering...
...but YOU are the one doing it.
