Apple this week rolled out security updates across its product lineup addressing dozens of security weaknesses, including a flaw that criminals have been exploiting.
This week’s updates extend to the iPhone, the iPad, all Macs running macOS versions as old as Ventura, as well as the Apple Watch, the Apple TV media center, and the Apple Vision headset.
If you’re using any of these, you have a security patch to deploy. And judging from an earlier security advisory from Google, you might want to make it a priority.

One issue addressed in this release has been known to threat actors for weeks. According to Google, an exploit existed in the wild at the time the web giant patched it in the popular Chrome web browser.
Tracked as CVE-2025-6558, the bug was described by Google as an “Incorrect validation of untrusted input in ANGLE and GPU.”
Incorrect validation of untrusted input occurs when the system doesn’t properly check external sources. The error can lead to vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit to access deeper parts of the system and execute malicious code.
Google addressed the issue in its latest security update for Chrome on desktop and mobile.
Reported by Clément Lecigne and Vlad Stolyarov of Google’s Threat Analysis Group, the issue is now also patched in Apple products sharing the open source code for rendering web content on your device’s screen.
For peace of mind, you’ll want this issue patched on your iDevice even if you don’t use Chrome.
“This is a vulnerability in open source code and Apple Software is among the affected projects,” according to the advisory issued this week from Cupertino, California.

As of today, Apple users will want the following software versions installed:
·      iOS 18.6 and iPadOS 18.6 – iPhone XS and later, iPad Pro 13-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 7th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later
·      iPadOS 17.7.9 – iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2nd generation, iPad Pro 10.5-inch, and iPad 6th generation
·      macOS Sequoia 15.6 – all Macs running macOS Sequoia
·      macOS Sonoma 14.7.7 – all Macs running macOS Sonoma
·      macOS Ventura 13.7.7 – all Macs running macOS Ventura
·      watchOS 11.6 – Apple Watch Series 6 and later
·      tvOS 18.6 – Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K (all models)
·      visionOS 2.6 – Apple Vision Pro
·      Safari 18.6 – your Safari browser on macOS Ventura and/or macOS Sonoma

According to the NIST National Vulnerability Database describing this vulnerability, “Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE and GPU in Google Chrome prior to 138.0.7204.157 allowed a remote attacker to potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page.”
Unpatched vulnerabilities in Chrome, the world’s most-used web browser, have been leveraged to conduct spyware attacks. And so have flaws in iOS itself. Spyware operators – often working for an authoritarian regime – have become notorious for targeting activists, dissidents, political rivals, human rights advocates, investigative journalists, and other high-profile individuals.

Make sure you periodically check for the latest security patch from your vendor – even if you’re not a high-risk figure. You never know when you trip a wire and become a target for eager exploiters.
For peace of mind, run a security solution on all your personal devices. On iOS and macOS, keep the trusty Lockdown Mode toggle handy if you have reason to believe hackers might be targeting you.

AI SEO agency Search Influence announced that its CEO and Co-Founder Will Scott, an AI SEO Expert, will be a featured speaker and moderator at Pubcon Pro 2025, held June 19-20 in Austin, Texas.
Will will share insights on how artificial intelligence is transforming SEO workflows and what it means for agencies and in-house marketers. He is scheduled to speak in sessions titled “AI-Powered Agencies: Automate 80% of Your SEO Work,” and “AI and SEO Content Generation.”
In “AI-Powered Agencies: Automate 80% of Your SEO Work,” Will will outline the systems and strategies that allow marketing teams to integrate AI into their day-to-day SEO operations. Rather than replacing marketers, AI tools enable greater efficiency, faster execution, and a stronger focus on strategic thinking. Will will demonstrate how agency leaders can use AI not just to cut costs, but to elevate the quality and consistency of their SEO services.
Later that day, Will will speak in “AI and SEO Content Generation,” a forward-looking panel featuring experts discussing the tools and techniques reshaping content development. The session will address challenges like maintaining originality, ensuring accuracy, and aligning content with search intent in an AI-driven environment. With his background in both technical SEO and content strategy, Will will guide the conversation toward practical, future-ready insights that attendees can bring back to their teams.
“AI isn’t just changing how we do SEO, it’s redefining what effective search optimization looks like. From content creation to technical implementation, AI enables us to work smarter, move faster, and deliver more value. The marketers and agencies who embrace this shift will gain a major competitive edge, while those who resist risk being left behind,” said Will Scott.
Will Scott is a nationally recognized digital marketing leader and the CEO and Co-Founder of Search Influence. Known for coining the term “barnacle SEO” in 2008, he has been at the forefront of search innovation for over two decades. As a full-time faculty member at Local U, Will is a frequent speaker at major industry conferences, including SMX and Pubcon.
Pubcon Pro 2025 will spotlight the growing role of AI in digital marketing, with sessions focused on SEO automation, paid media, and technical strategy. Attendees can expect practical insights from industry leaders, hands-on learning, and valuable networking opportunities. The conference draws agency owners, in-house marketers, and digital professionals from across the country.
As AI becomes increasingly responsible for what users see first in search, Search Influence has focused on helping clients optimize for this new reality. Their AI SEO methodology emphasizes topical relevance, structured formatting, entity clarity, and performance tracking to ensure their clients’ content is both machine-readable and human-relevant.
In higher education in particular, Search Influence has developed a tailored service offering designed to help colleges and universities navigate the shift to AI-powered search. The firm’s Higher Ed SEO Roadmap provides marketing teams with a structured action plan to future-proof their content strategy and maintain visibility with prospective students, faculty, and donors.

Google is rolling out a new Android Auto update that delivers full support for Material You color accents based on your phone’s wallpaper, building on previous updates.
As we reported late last year, Google was starting to implement support for Material You color themes in Android Auto 13.4. At the time, though, this was limited to only a couple of colors, not fully matching what was available on your phone’s wallpaper all of the time.
Now, that seems to be changing.
We’ve observed on Android Auto 14.9, the latest beta update, that Material You colors are now respected throughout the experience. You can see this most easily through the Settings app on Android Auto, as well as in notifications as we showed back in December. Alongside the accent colors of buttons changing, the entire background also gets a slight tint.
Unlike how it performed last year, too, Android Auto now reflects changes to Material You color accents whenever you change the wallpaper. It doesn’t always react to manual changes to color themes on Pixel, but it immediately adjusts to any wallpaper changes in our testing.
While we’re seeing this on the latest beta release, it may be available more broadly as some users have noticed the change over the past day. Notably, we didn’t see it on our first attempt, meaning this could be a server-side change. As was the case when Google first introduced color accents, turning off the option to match your phone’s wallpaper on Android Auto disables the accent colors.
However the rollout is being handled, it’s certainly nice to finally have proper Material You color theming on Android Auto.
Have you noticed the change yet?
