Apple sends spyware victims to this nonprofit security lab

This report outlines Apple’s approach to government spyware alerts, emphasizing its practice of notifying targeted users and referring them to Access Now’s digital helpline for triage rather than conducting in-house forensics. Experts from Citizen Lab, EFF, and independent consultants support this model, citing its role in uncovering notable cases and recommending users update devices and enable Lockdown Mode, which Apple states has prevented known mercenary spyware infections.
