How to remove previous recipients in Mail.app »

New York Times: iPhone Users Urged to Update Software After Security Flaws Are Found »
Yesterday, Apple released iOS version 9.3.5 to fix a scary security hole that was discovered recently. Here’s an excerpt of how the security vulnerabilities were used:
Investigators discovered that a company called the NSO Group, an Israeli outfit that sells software that invisibly tracks a target’s mobile phone, was responsible for the intrusions. The NSO Group’s software can read text messages and emails and track calls and contacts. It can even record sounds, collect passwords and trace the whereabouts of the phone user.
