France says Apple notified victims of new spyware attacks

Apple notified a set of customers (including alerts acknowledged by France’s national cybersecurity unit) that devices linked to certain iCloud accounts were targeted and potentially compromised by spyware; the notification was sent on September 3 but the report states the number of affected individuals, the spyware family used, and the timeframe of intrusions are unclear. The article situates this event within a pattern of mercenary spyware notifications (e.g., past Pegasus-related incidents) but provides no technical indicators or attribution.
