Some iPhone users got a very concerning alert to their devices on Wednesday. Apple sent notifications to individuals in 92 countries warning them that they may have been the target of mercenary spyware<\/a> attacks, TechCrunch<\/em> reports<\/a>. “Apple detected that you are being targeted by a mercenary spyware attack that is trying to remotely compromise the iPhone associated with your Apple ID -xxx-,” the message read.<\/p>\n

Apple’s alert<\/a> went on to share additional information about the incident<\/a>. “This attack is likely targeting you specifically because of who you are or what you do. Although it’s never possible to achieve absolute certainty when detecting such attacks, Apple has high confidence in this warning \u2014 please take it seriously,” the alert continued. Apple explained that it couldn’t provide any information about what prompted the message out of concern that additional information would help attackers avoid future detection. The company uses internal information and investigations to pinpoint attacks.<\/p>\n

This instance is hardly the first time Apple<\/a> has had to send this sort of notification. Since 2021, individuals in over 150 countries have received similar messages, including a warning to some journalists and politicians in India<\/a> last October. However, it’s unclear which countries individuals received alerts in this time around.<\/p>\n
