Apple Alerts Targeted Users of State-Grade Spyware, Urges Lockdown and Expert Help
TL;DR Summary
Apple has issued high-confidence warnings to users suspected of being targeted by mercenary spyware (such as Pegasus), updated its alert interface, and published a new support page with steps to protect data. Recipients are advised to enable Lockdown Mode and seek rapid expert assistance through Access Now’s Digital Security Helpline; while a notification signals activity consistent with an attack, it does not guarantee data has been compromised and Apple cannot reveal targeting criteria to avoid evasion.
