With PowerPoint presentations, remember, there is nothing more embarrassing than turning up at a venue with your
presentation on a memory stick and the venue does not have a copy of PowerPoint to run it. Save it as a stand-alone
presentation as a PowerPoint Show (.pptx).

Apple warns of serious security flaw for iPhones, iPads and

Macs

Last week Apple on announced that they have uncovered serious security vulnerabilities in their iPhones,
iPads and Macs, and recommended all users update their software to block potential intrusion.

The software flaws could potentially allow attackers to take complete control of these devices, Apple said
in two security reports.

The company said it is 'aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.'

The two vulnerabilities were found in WebKit, the browser engine that powers Safari and other apps, and
the kernel, essentially the core of the operating system.

Security experts have advised users to update affected devices - the iPhones6S and later models; several models of
the iPad, including the 5th generation and later, all iPad Pro models and the iPad Air 2; and Mac computers running
MacOS Monterey.

It also affects some iPod models.
