Apple Issues New Spyware Attack Warning To iPhone Users

  • This week, Apple alerted iPhone users across 100 countries that they may have been targeted by sophisticated mercenary spyware.
  • The alerts, part of Apple's ongoing efforts since 2021, aim to inform highly targeted individuals such as journalists and activists about sophisticated spyware threats.
  • Two known recipients include Italian journalist Ciro Pellegrino and Dutch activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek, who confirmed receiving alerts describing targeted spyware attacks linked to their identity or work.
  • Apple recommends updating devices to iOS 18.4.1, enabling Lockdown Mode, and seeking expert help via nonprofit resources like Access Now’s Digital Security Helpline.
  • These notifications signal ongoing, costly, and rare mercenary spyware campaigns that Apple detects with high confidence but does not attribute to specific groups or governments.
