Apple issues new spyware attack warning to iPhone users

  Some users in 98 countries may receive warnings on their iPhones of a potential for spyware loaded on their devices. 

 This the second such warning. Little is known of the need for this warning.

 “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-,” 

A zero-click attack allowing the attacker(s) complete control of the device including reading encrypted messages and data.

 If you are a high profile user or rely on encryption protections, consider Lockdown mode.

 Turning your iPhone off nightly might be helpful.

 Applying updates is now so important.
