Apple claims Lockdown Mode prevents spyware attacks

Apple stated that no users employing its Lockdown Mode have been compromised by spyware. This assertion comes at a time when leaked hacking tools specifically targeting older software versions have surfaced. Lockdown Mode is an optional, high-security setting designed for users who face extraordinary digital threats, such as targeted attacks by sophisticated surveillance software. The company's defense of the feature's efficacy aims to reassure users about its protection against advanced cyber threats, even as vulnerabilities in less protected systems are exposed.
