Apple warns users in 99 countries of mercenary spyware attacks, over 150 countries notified to date

Apple issued a new round of threat notifications to targeted users in 99 countries, bringing its total to over 150 countries. Apple does not attribute the attacks to any specific attackers or regions. Citizen Lab and Access Now advise recipients to enable Lockdown Mode and contact Access Now, and warn that the absence of a notification does not rule out infection. The previous major batch was sent in August, and the latest one comes shortly before final negotiations on industry standards under the voluntary Pall Mall Process.
