Apple warns iPhone users about new spyware.

According to 9to5Mac , Apple has just notified iPhone users about a new spyware attack, known as the Mercenary Spyware Attack. Potential victims have received warning emails from Apple describing how the attack can remotely infiltrate iPhones and steal personal data.

According to Reuters, victims of this attack have been identified in India and 91 other countries. Apple said it discovered that the attackers used sophisticated spyware to install on users' iPhones, allowing them to track personal data and location.

Hackers are targeting iPhone users with new spyware.

This type of attack is often carried out by criminal organizations or sponsored by governments, due to the high cost of developing spyware and the sophisticated techniques required. Targets are typically high-profile individuals such as political activists, government officials, diplomats, and journalists.

Apple has been working to patch security vulnerabilities and release software updates to protect iPhone users. However, the company also advises users at risk of attack to proactively protect themselves by immediately installing the latest software updates and considering enabling Lockdown Mode, a feature that disables certain iPhone system functions that are particularly vulnerable to attacks.

Furthermore, Apple is also taking legal action to prosecute these dangerous spyware manufacturers. In November 2021, Apple sued the Israeli company NSO Group, one of the most notorious spyware manufacturers, for its role in carrying out surveillance attacks on Apple users. The lawsuit is still ongoing.
