Apple sends mercenary-spyware threat alerts to iPhone users in 110 countries

Apple has issued high-confidence threat notifications to iPhone users across 110 countries, warning that they may have been targeted by mercenary spyware. The company has not disclosed the attackers' identity, the attack method, or whether any devices were actually compromised, but said the campaign involves narrowly targeted attempts rather than broad phishing. Researcher Costin Raiu first reported the alerts on October 30, noting they are separate from a similar round of notifications Apple sent in August.
