The National Security Agency (NSA) has issued a global advisory for iPhone users regarding a device setting that poses data security risks.
Users are advised to review and adjust their privacy settings, specifically limiting location-sharing and disabling advertising permissions for downloaded apps.
Location-sharing settings can be exploited by hackers and third-party entities to track a user's movements and activities in real-time.
Similar vulnerabilities exist in the Android ecosystem, and unregulated data collection can lead to severe privacy breaches.
