Apple has issued a fix to a flaw in its OS X operating system which previously left users vulnerable to security breaches while browsing online. A software update was released last week to iPhone, iPad and iPod owners to protect users from "an attacker" who may "capture or modify data". It was later discovered that the problem also existed on Apple laptops and desktop computers running OS X.
