Fix: The release of iOS 8.4.1 included a fix for a security issues within the mobile operating system, reports AppleInsider.

The problem was with app permissions and hackers could use legitimate apps in the App Store to read information from other apps and send it back to them. While Apple has fixed things on their end, it could still be months before app developers get around to patching their software to not be vulnerable to the issue.
