Apple users are being urged to update their products immediately to protect against a powerful new spyware that infiltrated devices without any clicks.

The tech company released updates to patch two zero-day exploit chains on Thursday.

It comes after an employee of the Washington DC-based civil society organization Citizen Lab found the zero-click vulnerability delivering Pegasus mercenary spyware, according to Citizen Lab researcher John Scott-Railton.

🚨 Update your @apple products immediately!

Last week we @citizenlab discovered a new #Pegasus zero-click exploit chain.

(No clicking required to infect latest iOS!)

Found while checking civil society.
