Apple is sending threat notifications to users in 110 countries, warning that they may be targeted by mercenary spyware. The notifications are designed to alert people when Apple detects indicators consistent with such targeted attacks, and Apple also publishes guidance on what the alerts mean and what actions users can take after receiving one.
One outlet reports that the notifications were sent on a Thursday and that the company did not share how many users received messages or what types of entities are behind the suspected targeting. Apple has also described the broader rollout as wider than this latest wave, noting that warnings have reached more countries to date. Another source similarly reports the 110-country figure, without adding specific details about targets or volume.
Taken together, the reports focus on Apple’s continued expansion of its threat notification program, the geographic reach of the latest deployment, and Apple’s lack of disclosed information about the affected users or the specific targeting parties.
