Kathmandu. Tech giant Apple has simultaneously warned iPhone users in 150 countries of great danger. This is the danger of a ‘mersonary spyware attack’.
The company said that these attacks are more dangerous than normal cyber attacks. Cybercriminals are trying to target some people and their iPhones.
Apple is worried about its users and wants to protect them from this danger. “Whoever is behind these attacks has a lot of money and resources, so this attack is bigger and more serious than the usual cyber attack,” the company said. ’
According to the report, the way of the hired spyware attack changes over time. Therefore, it is not clear what the style and structure of the attack will be. Apple detects such attacks through its own research. This type of attack is carried out by spending a lot of money and is said to have targeted some people. That’s why it’s hard to stop a mersinary attack.
According to the report, in the event of a mersinary attack, Apple sends information to its users through e-mail addresses and i-messages linked to their Apple accounts. Apart from this, users will also receive alerts when they sign in to account.apple.com.
The company has been in touch with people receiving threats round the clock through its website to resolve the situation.
Apple has said that users should always keep their devices updated with new software. A password should be set on the tool, which is strong. In addition, two factor authentication should also continue. If a message appears suspicious or the attachment is suspicious, it should not be opened. However, the company did not mention any specific iPhone model. This alert seems to be for all iPhone users.
