Apple has issued a new wave of iPhone spyware warnings to targeted users in 99 countries, with German officials confirming that members of parliament and federal government figures were among those alerted. The incident highlights the growing challenge of defending against sophisticated surveillance tools that can access sensitive information without a victim clicking a link or opening an attachment.
Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has advised recipients to assume their devices may have been compromised. However, an Apple notification does not establish that an attack succeeded, and neither the company nor German authorities has publicly identified those responsible.
