  • Apple warns iPhone users in half the world via email of new iOS cyberat

    From prescient observer@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 11 21:49:43 2024
    Apple warns iPhone users by email of cyberattack.

    What to do if you get Apple's new spyware warning? https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/apple-warns-iphone-users-in-92-countries-of-extremely-advanced-cyberattack-what-to-do-if-you-get-spyware-warning-101712852573673.html

    The email from Apple said jackers have remotely compromised the iPhone associated with Apple users' Apple ID in at least 92 countries (of the two hundred countries in the world).

    Apple has high confidence in this warning where Apple begs its customers in half the world to please take these many Apple focused cyberattacks very seriously.

    Apple has warned people in at least 150 of the 200 countries in the world
    that since 2021 their highly insecure Apple devices have often successfully been hit by multiple cyber attacks.

    To be clear, this does not mean -all- users in those 92 countries.

    It means high profile people (politicians, journalists, activists,
    company execs, etc) who are likely targets of sophisticated attacks such
    as made possible by NSO Group Malware (and others).

    So. Unless you are one of the very, very, very few who are targeted,
    this attack is not a worry but it does give some trolls an
    uncontrollable urge to belch all over the place, again.

    Thanks for that. Now I can relax. Good to know apple has kept our stuff impenetrable.

    If I were to keep track I suspect you're batting near 1.000 for idiotic remarks.

    Thank you. I have no idea who this oft-quoted bete noire "Arlen" is,
    but unless he is very influential, I don't imagine all of those
    publications could have been taken in by just that one person.

    Reminds me of the book 1984, where every ill in the society was
    deliberately ascribed to the invented arch enemy Goldstein.
