Critical flaw leaves all Apple devices open to password thieves

If you haven’t already installed Apple’s latest round of software updates, go do it now.

A flaw in earlier versions of iOS, OS X, tvOS and watchOS makes it possible for hackers to remotely steal saved passwords from your Apple devices without your knowledge.

Remember that dreaded Stagefright vulnerability discovered in Android a year ago? It allowed hackers to access millions of devices using nothing more than a malicious MMS message, and Google’s platform got a lot of stick from it — especially from Apple fans.

Now those Apple fans — and millions of others — have a very similar problem.
