"Apple Issues Global Warning for iPhone Spyware Attacks"
Apple has notified iPhone users in 92 countries about a "mercenary spyware attack" targeting their devices, likely orchestrated by well-funded and sophisticated entities such as NSO Group's Pegasus kit. The company recommends immediate actions to protect against such attacks, including enabling lockdown mode, updating devices, and seeking expert assistance. These attacks primarily target individuals such as journalists, activists, politicians, and diplomats. Apple has updated its support page on spyware protection and is actively working to detect and alert users about these advanced digital threats. If targeted, users will receive notifications and are advised to contact the Digital Security Helpline for assistance.
