"Apple detected that you are being targeted by a mercenary spyware attack that is trying to remotely compromise the iPhone associated with your Apple ID -xxx-." "This attack is likely targeting you specifically because of who you are or what you do." "Although it's never possible to achieve absolute certainty when detecting such attacks, Apple has high confidence in this warning — please take it seriously.", Apple's warning, via Engadget. Internal information and investigations are used by the tech giant to pinpoint attacks. However, Apple couldn't provide any more information about the mercenary spyware attacks because it might "help attackers avoid future detection," Engadget reports.
