Apple Issues iPhone Security Alert In 92 Countries

Apple has issued a critical security warning to iPhone users across 92 countries, alerting them to the potential risks of sophisticated malware attacks. According to an email from the company, these attacks involve advanced reconnaissance spyware aimed at monitoring user activities and gathering sensitive data. The nature of these attacks is more intricate and harder to detect than typical cyber threats or consumer-level malware, often involving expenditures in the millions to execute, and targeting specific individuals for espionage.

These attacks represent a substantial threat, with potential access to personal information and the capability to activate device features such as cameras and microphones without user consent. The Economic Times in India reports that India is notably one of the countries heavily impacted by these security threats.
