Apple's Silent War Against Spyware: How Threat Notifications Save Targets

Apple has been sending "threat notifications" to users suspected of being targets of government spyware attacks, directing them to seek help from nonprofit Access Now.

These notifications are typically reserved for high profile targets, and direct the user to get in touch with Access Now rather than Apple's own engineers. This is because outside organizations don't have any information about what caused Apple to send a threat notification, but they can still offer tailored security advice.
