I recently updated to iOS 18.0 a couple days ago. In my Safari web browser i get a pop-up window asking me if I want to download occ. I had this occur several times on different sites. I “x” the window closed. I have no idea what ‘occ’ is and as a precaution will not download anything that I have no clue about. see attached screen shots below.
Thanks

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18
So, I have spoken to the escalation team. They were able to see it happening real time on my device. They are bumping this up to the engineers. It hapoens on Chrome and Safari. News type sites. Post iOS 18 update.
There’s nothing that basic troubleshooting can do so PLEASE DON’T FACTORY RESET IF A SUPPORT PERSON TELLS YOU TO RIGHT NOW. 😨
They were largely unaware of the problem because I’m assume the gross majority of people did not reach out to them. (I did show them the number of folks here via screen-share).
I will be contacted on Tuesday after the engineers have taken a tinker. Hopefully they can fix it fast.
I was given a direct contact to the escalation team member in case something else pops up.
So! Until then the directive from Apple is: Do not download anything from a pop up, avoid those news sites for the time being if you can. (Don’t wanna accidentally click).
I’ll loop back Tuesday. 👋🏽

Every update contains security improvements as that is what makes iOS the most secure platform in the world. The part in your article that you failed to mention was: "The company did not mark any of the iOS 18 vulnerabilities in the already-exploited category." None of which is related to the topic on hand where an executable downloaded from the internet can be launched. Try it for yourself by downloading a .exe or .app file and try and run it. You will see that it is not possible.
Your rhetoric is more in line with posts from security bloggers who get their money/clicks the same way you see AntiVirus software attempting to scare users into believing they need their product to keep their devices safe. Fyi, those ads are scams.

Well, I thought installing Adguard solved it for me. But, it’s back this morning, and this message showed up when I logged into my bank account:
Do you want to download “_codexch”?
I X’d it out, but I assume Apple is unable to help at all.
Check with your bank, as _codexch can be part of single sign-on processing.
I have added my experience here on this thread confirming the unexpected page.
Have also submitted it to Apple Feedback.

I called apple support do to kids phone was allegedly red flagged because a casino tried to take 300 from my account,the apple rep told me to go get a card load money and sent me a transaction number and told me to turn on my location,I asked could he see my location and he replied yes your in Canton,He gave the wrong location and I realized I was being scammed.They had my bank card info when they called.
That is a common phishing technique that you may see on a website, email, or even text message. Review this link below to help identify these scams. Calling a number that is given to you is not a good idea. If you want to contact a company, go to the web page of the company to find the contact info. Simply searching for a phone number using Google may bring up a fake number as scammers pay Google to have their search results show at the top of the list.
Same same, iOS 17.7 on 13 Pro Max
Happening on my iPhone with 17.6.1 and iPad with same version of iOS.
It seems like it started on ESPN but I just got it on CNBC too
Same here. Just started after I installed the update. Ugh!
I am having the same problem after installing iOS 18 😏. Any conclusion what is causing this and how to fix?
I’m guessing that it came from the security/bug update, rather than the iOS 18 upgrade.
Same here. Mine started after my iOS 18 update. Get a pop for “occ” and have also got “sync”. Occ seems to happen more often.
Yep. Same phone model here and same results.
Same exact thing here. Happened on ESPN.
Any update from Apple?
Me too. I x out the page. Don’t like even hitting the x on the pop up.
I get a pop-up window asking "Do you want to download "occ" in my Safari browser
