Apple has recently alerted users across 100 countries about potential spyware attacks, highlighting the dangers posed by mercenary software. Notably, recipients of the warnings include Italian journalist Ciro Pellegrino and Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek, who showed evidence of Apple's communication. The alerts indicate a targeted nature of the threats, with Apple citing high confidence in their detection. The company warns that while such spyware attacks often come from sophisticated sources, like the NSO Group, most users are unlikely to be targeted.
âThis attack is likely targeting you specifically because of who you are and what you do. Although it's never possible to achieve absolute certainty when detecting such attacks, Apple has high confidence in this warning - please take it seriously.â
âMercenary spyware attacks cost millions of dollars and often have a short shelf life, making them much harder to detect and prevent. The vast majority of users will never be targeted by such attacks.â
