iPhone Under Siege: Apple Issues Urgent Alerts Over Stealthy Mercenary Spyware
Apple has deployed a fresh wave of emergency notifications to users in 92 countries, alerting them that they may have been targeted by sophisticated mercenary spyware attacks. These alerts are triggered when the company detects activities reminiscent of high-end tools like Pegasus, which are capable of compromising devices remotely without user interaction. Targeted individuals are advised to take immediate precautions, such as enabling Lockdown Mode, as these attacks are significantly more complex and targeted than standard cybercrime. The tech giant continues to monitor these threats globally to protect high-risk users including journalists, activists, and politicians.
