iOS Mail App bug

Oh hey, look, another iOS bug! This time hackers have found a new way to crack your password, and it’s surprisingly easy too.

A bug in Apple’s Mail app has been found in which hackers are able to manipulate Apple’s code to create a pop-up asking for you login credentials. The pop-up, which appears to look authentic, is in fact fake.

This only affects the iOS Mail app. If you’re using Gmail or Microsoft, you should have nothing to worry about it. If you’re not, consider this your warning.
