The Indian government has issued an official warning to iPhone users after detecting signs of targeted spyware attacks aimed at compromising devices and accessing sensitive information. The alert was shared through government cybersecurity channels, advising users to remain cautious and update their devices immediately.
According to the notification, the threat involves sophisticated spyware capable of exploiting system vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access. Such attacks can potentially monitor calls, messages, location data, and other personal information without the user’s knowledge. The government has urged citizens, especially individuals in sensitive professions, to take the warning seriously.
Users have been advised to update iOS to the latest version, avoid downloading unknown apps, disable unnecessary permissions, and remain alert for unusual behavior on their devices. Apple is reportedly working on additional security patches to further strengthen device protection.
The government emphasized that these warnings are precautionary in nature and part of an ongoing effort to safeguard users from evolving digital threats.
