Apple has notified users in 99 countries about potential mercenary spyware attacks, as German authorities investigate reports that lawmakers and government officials may have been targeted. The notifications, issued by Apple periodically when it believes users may have been compromised by such attacks, advise recipients to take the warnings seriously and seek expert assistance.
German authorities have issued an urgent warning, advising recipients to assume their devices are no longer secure. The attacks reportedly exploited a "zero-click" vulnerability, allowing hackers to compromise devices without any interaction, using only knowledge of the targets' phone numbers.
