iPhone users in 98 countries have been warned by Apple about potential mercenary spyware attacks that could compromise their devices and personal data. The company has high confidence in these warnings and urges users to take the security threat seriously.

Apple urges recipients of security warnings to take the threats seriously and consider enlisting expert help, such as the rapid-response emergency security assistance provided by the Digital Security Helpline at the nonprofit Access Now4. Additionally, Apple suggests that users enable Lockdown Mode on their devices for extra protection against mercenary spyware attacks.
