自2001年起，苹果公司通过电子邮件、iMessage和账户横幅等方式，向可能成为间谍软件攻击目标的用户发出警告1。今年9月，苹果调整了通知机制，开始将威胁通知直接显示在用户设备的锁屏和设置中1。此类威胁通知表明，苹果检测到用户设备存在被雇佣间谍软件针对的活动1。
该通知不会说明攻击是否成功，也不提供攻击者的身份或动机信息1。这类被雇佣的间谍软件技术通常仅面向政府客户销售，供应商包括NSO Group、Paragon或Cytrox等公司1。没有任何单一应用或服务能够诊断、预防或缓解所有间谍软件攻击，因此确认攻击是否成功需要进行数字取证调查1。此外，建议用户及时更新系统、启用高安全模式并寻求专业机构协助1。Access Now的数字安全热线可为活动人士、记者和人权捍卫者提供针对性建议1。
Starting in September 2024, Apple began displaying threat notifications directly on users' lock screens and within their device settings 1. Prior to this change, the company had been warning users about potential spyware targeting through email, iMessage, and account banners since 2001 1. These alerts signify that Apple has detected activity indicating the device was targeted by mercenary spyware 1. This type of surveillance technology is generally sold only to government clients by firms such as NSO Group, Paragon, and Cytrox 1. The notification does not confirm whether an attack was successful, nor does it provide information regarding the attacker's identity or motives 1.
Confirming an attack requires a digital forensics investigation, especially since no single application or service can diagnose, prevent, or mitigate all spyware attacks 1. Consequently, users are encouraged to promptly update their operating systems, activate high-security mode, and seek assistance from professional institutions 1. Additionally, the digital security hotline at Access Now is available to provide targeted guidance for activists, journalists, and human rights defenders 1.
