Apple warns customers targeted in recent spyware attacks www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu…

Apple warned customers last week that their devices were targeted in a new series of spyware attacks, according to the French national Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-FR). While CERT-FR didn’t share more information on what prompted these alerts, last month Apple released emergency updates to patch a zero-day flaw (CVE-2025-43300) that was chained with a WhatsApp zero-click vulnerability (CVE-2025-55177) in what the company described as an “extremely sophisticated attack.”

According to a Thursday advisory, CERT-FR is aware of at least four instances of Apple threat notifications alerting the company’s users about mercenary spyware attacks that have occurred since the beginning of the year. These alerts were sent on March 5, April 29, June 25, and last week, on September 3, to the phone numbers and email addresses associated with the users' Apple accounts.
