If you have an Apple device, you'll want to install the latest update. 

Apple has released an emergency update to its suite of platforms - Mac, iPad and iPhone - to fix a critical security issue which could allow a hacker into your device through your web browser. Worse - Apple says these vulnerabilities have been used. 

It's very technical, but simply, through accessing a website the hacker could effectively get deep access to your device, and control apps as if you were doing the activity.  

Known in the industry as a "zero-day" as the exploit is known and in the wild - so they have zero days to fix it. Apple has released patches available for download now, and also an update specifically for the Safari browser. 

Just search for "set a timer for 5 minutes" and it automatically starts counting down.  

It was removed because it had an "issue" but it's back -- and you may not have ever known it existed! You can also ask Google to "flip a coin" or "roll a dice".. or "do a barrel roll".
