Apple is issuing spyware warnings to targeted users in 98 countries to alert them of potential attacks on their iPhones. The message warns of a mercenary spyware attack attempting to compromise the device. Previous notifications described the attacks as "state-sponsored", but now focus on individual targets due to their identities or professions. Not providing specific details on the threat, Apple aims to prompt users to protect their accounts and devices preemptively. Reports suggest that many targeted users are journalists or work in news media. The warning follows previous alerts issued since 2021 and researchers linked a previous warning to the LightSpy surveillance spyware toolset. Apple's proactive approach to cybersecurity shows its commitment to safeguarding user privacy and data. Stay tuned as more information on this latest attack unfolds.
