GoKawiilApple moves spyware threat alerts to Lock Screen and Settings for visibility
Apple has warned users of possible mercenary spyware targeting since 2001 via email, iMessage, and account banners. Since September, these threat notifications now also appear directly on a device's Lock Screen and in Settings, making them far more difficult to overlook. The alerts signal potential targeting by commercial surveillance tools from firms like NSO Group, Paragon, or Cytrox, but do not confirm a successful attack or identify the attacker.
