Apple has recently issued a spyware attack warning to users in 98 countries, marking the second time the tech giant has alerted its users about such threats in the past few months. The previous alert was issued in April, targeting users in 92 countries. The specific countries affected by the latest wave of spyware attacks have not been disclosed by Apple, but users in India have reported receiving the warning.
The spyware attacks detected by Apple are aimed at compromising iPhones associated with users' Apple IDs. Spyware, such as the well-known Pegasus developed by the Israeli firm NSO Group, poses a significant threat to iPhone users. In a recent report, researchers highlighted the return of the LightSpy spyware campaign, emphasizing its ability to pinpoint targets with high accuracy.
