Apple is urging users to update their software on most devices after discovering a possible security vulnerability.
In the warning, issued Thursday, Apple said it was "aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited."
Impacted models include the iPhone 6 and later models, many iPad models, including all iPad Pro models, the iPad Air 2, computers using MacOS Monterey, Safari and the iPad Touch 7th generation models.
Apple says that keeping products updated is the most important part of securing your private information.
"For the protection of our customers, Apple doesn't disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are generally available," Apple stated on its website.
Public figures are especially urged to update software because hackers could log into devices as the user.
The Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA) also urged users to update software as soon as possible to avoid becoming a victim of hackers.
"An attacker could exploit one of these vulnerabilities to take control of an affected device," the CISA stated.
