Mass alert for smartphone owners
Apple has initiated a new wave of notifications addressed to iPhone owners. Users in 99 countries around the world received the messages. The aim of these notifications is to draw attention to the potential threat from spyware, which may be used for targeted hacking attacks.
Recommended security measures
To minimise risks, Apple has proposed that users take a series of actions. First and foremost, the company advises installing the latest operating system updates. In addition, it is recommended to activate the special protective mode, Lockdown Mode. If necessary, Apple recommends consulting cybersecurity experts.
How the protective mode works
Lockdown Mode is designed to counter sophisticated and targeted cyberattacks. After activating this mode, the functionality of certain applications and system components of the device is restricted. This is done to reduce the opportunities for malicious software to penetrate the system.
Attack details not disclosed
Meanwhile, Apple representatives have not provided public information regarding the details of these probable attacks. The company does not name specific individuals or organisations that may be behind the cyber threats.
