🚨 If you get a pop-up on your iPhone asking if I want to “download occ" in Safari,
DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT and close the pop-up.
Apple doesn’t know what it is yet and is investigating.

It’s not iOS 18. I had it occur frequently on iOS 17. It MAY have been a malicious website (?) — I just don’t recall hitting one.
The hardest bugs to fix are the ones that are hard to reproduce.
If you can’t reproduce it, you can’t be assured it’s fixed.
@SpaceShanks @TheAbbotTrithemius I’ve encountered that pop up……
@AndyM @TheAbbotTrithemius i've never seen it but I make a point to limit my exposure to suspect sites and unfortunately big name news sites aren't known to be safe.
Yes and I’m sure they can’t say jack until Apple’s legal team and their PR strategy is aligned and setting up a response to minimize corporate liability or public blowback … blah…blah…fckin blah….as we know, Apple OS and iOS are supposed to be pretty immune from possible hacks…
How a pop-up for a download (“occ”) is coming up in Safari iOS is either a fuxk up on their end or a pretty BFD malware-wise if it is some kind of virus or malware.
Either way this is a bad look.
@TheAbbotTrithemius LOL at them not knowing what it is yet. It's not that fucking hard to do a client server packet capture including data analysis with that data.
They know what it is. they just have no clue how to fix it.
