Apple now sends mercenary spyware attack alerts directly to iPhone lock screens
↗
Apple has updated its threat notification system to send push alerts directly to iPhone lock screens when it detects government-grade spyware targeting a user.
Receiving a notification does not guarantee a successful hack, but it indicates a targeted attack that requires immediate action. The alerts prompt users to enable Lockdown Mode, a feature Apple says has not been bypassed to date. This direct delivery method improves the chances that targeted individuals will seek help and secure their devices.
