    Vulnerabilities In iCloud Fixed

    Completely surprisingly, Apple rolled out an unscheduled update from iOS 12.3 to 12.3.1 last Friday. Experts were surprised that no update of the iTunes or iCloud software for Windows PCs had taken place at the same time as the release of 12.3.

    Apple has now made up for this. If you already have iTunes or iCloud installed on your PC, you will find the Apple Update program under the Start menu. If this started, Apple checks its own computer and offers to download iTunes 12.9.5 and iCloud 7.12 if it has not already been done.

    Users should install the new version as soon as possible, even if there appear to be no exploits for the fixed security problems.
