The article describes Apple’s Lockdown Mode, reporting that Apple and independent researchers have not observed any successful mercenary spyware (e.g., Pegasus, Predator) compromises on devices with Lockdown Mode enabled. It highlights that Apple has sent notifications to potentially targeted users in many countries, that watchdogs have documented spyware attacks (none bypassing Lockdown Mode in observed cases), and that security experts recommend enabling Lockdown Mode to reduce the attack surface against sophisticated zero-click and other exploit techniques.
