Why Apple sends spyware victims to this nonprofit security lab | TechCrunch
77% Informative
Apple has been sending notifications to targets and victims of government spyware, alerting them that they may have been hacked, and directing them to get help.
The nonprofit Access Now runs a helpline for people in civil society who suspect they have been targets of spyware.
Experts say Apple should stop short of investigating individual attacks after notifying the victims.
Apple says it is not aware of any successful spyware infection against someone who used Lockdown Mode .
The opt-in iOS security feature has stopped spyware attacks in the past by limiting device features that are often exploited to plant spyware.
All the experts TechCrunch spoke with strongly recommend turning on Lockdown mode if you think you may be a target.
