Apple Threat Notification

Apple sent threat notifications to iPhone users in 92 countries on Wednesday, warning them that they may be getting targeted by a “mercenary spyware attack.” ALERT: State-sponsored attackers may be targeting your iPhone Apple believes you are being targeted by state- sponsored attackers who are trying to remotely compromise the iPhone associated with your Apple ID. These attackers are likely targeting you individually because of who you are or what you do. If your device is compromised by a state-sponsored attacker, they may be able to remotely access your sensitive data, communications, or even the camera and microphone. While it's possible this is a false alarm, please take this warning seriously.

An Apple threat notification warns iPhone users that state-sponsored attackers may be targeting them with mercenary spyware. The humor comes from presenting an extremely serious, ominous security alert as a reaction to the uploader’s caption, “The feds are here,” implying that government agents are watching or targeting them. It can be sent as an absurd paranoid reaction when someone jokes about official attention or surveillance.
