Apple explains how it warns against government-sponsored spyware intentions

Apple said it would continue to notify the people involved combating government-sponsored spyware programs, and now it is clear what happens when you are among the people you want to follow. MacRumors notes what Apple has in detail how it alerts users when it believes they are being monitored by government subsidies. You will receive email and iMessage notifications at addresses and phone numbers associated with your Apple ID. If you visit appleid.apple.com, you will also see the well-known message of “dangerous information” showing what happened and when.

The company emphasized that this information will not require you to delete links, download content or share login information such as passwords and passwords. Instead it asked users to visit the Apple ID page to confirm the warnings. Apple also featured users of Consumer Reports’ list of emergency services if you do not receive the information but still believe that you are being attacked, whether it is government actors or persecutors.

This type of information is not new. Google, for example, has to identify potential victims for years. Apple’s disclosure is appropriate because of concerns about spyware programs from the NSO Group and others, however, and may be necessary if you are an adversary, journalist or other defendant who may face threats from oppressive governments.
