Apple users warned to be careful
Apple has issued a warning to its users to be careful. The company said that spyware attacks are much more complex than malware that consumes regular cybercriminal activity, at least because Mercenary Spyware attackers use extraordinary resources to target specific people and their devices. Such attacks cost millions of dollars and often have a short shelf life. Due to this, detecting them and stopping them is also a very difficult task. The company also said that most Apple users have never been targeted through such attacks.
