If Apple sends you a push notification alerting you to a spyware attack, take it seriously

Apple has issued a new set of push, email, and account-login notifications to users it suspects were targeted by mercenary spyware used by governments, affecting users in over 110 countries (Apple has notified people in 150+ countries to date). The alerts appear on the iPhone lock screen and direct recipients to remediation steps and support, including enabling Lockdown Mode; researchers from Citizen Lab praise the improved notification process for prompting investigations and exposing widespread surveillance abuses.
