It's true. Apple has warned its vast user base that there is an exploit in earlier versions of iOS and iPad OS where hackers could possibly launch a targeted attack on your device. The key word here is "targeted." This is a very specific vulnerability. You would have to be singled out to be a victim. Still, that's not very reassuring.
What is, though, is the fact that the fix is easy. Apple already patched things up with the latest release. So, if you update or have already updated to iOS 26.2 or iPad OS 26.2 you should be good to go. This is why having a mobile device with the ability to run the latest operating system is critical.
