And yes, Apple says in its blog entry, the Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV are affected. However, Apple says that it's already taken action: iOS 11.2, macOS 10.13.2, and tvOS 11.2 all contain fixes meant to mitigate the Meltdown vulnerabilities. All of those updates are already out there in the wild, so if you own any of those devices, make sure your operating system is up-to-date.    Share the latest business news with your network:    Email sent to: nguyenvu1187.love5@blogger.com   |   Manage your email preferences   |   Unsubscribe Terms of Service   |   Privacy Policy Business Insider. 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10011
