Summary:
- Apple has started notifying some iPhone users that their devices may have been targeted by "state-sponsored attackers" using powerful spyware.
- The spyware, called Pegasus, can access a user's messages, photos, and other data, as well as turn on the device's microphone and camera to spy on the user.
- This notification from Apple is a rare acknowledgment of the threat of advanced surveillance tools and the need for users to be aware of the risks they face, even on seemingly secure devices.
