Techcrunch報導,蘋果本周對98國iPhone用戶發布威脅通知,警告用戶的Apple帳號遭到傭兵間諜軟體(mercenary spyware)攻擊。

傭兵間諜軟體指的是由軟體開發商開發以提供給客戶,作為蒐集資訊或監控特定對象的間諜軟體。這類軟體通常銷售給政府、警察單位,用以監控記者、異議人士、外國官員或國內政治人物等身分敏感人物。最有名的傭兵間諜軟體是以色列公司NSO Group開發的Pegasus。已經有眾多國家或政黨人物、媒體記者、社會運動等人士的iPhone被發現感染Pegasus。

蘋果自2021年起針對偵測蘋果帳號受到此類間諜軟體鎖定的用戶,發出威脅通知,迄今已經通知過超過150個國家的蘋果用戶。Techcrunch報導,本周有印度等98國用戶接到這份郵件通知。去年10月及今年4月蘋果也先後發布安全通知。

在這份通知中蘋果告知,該公司偵測到用戶遭到傭兵間諜軟體鎖定,這軟體試圖遠端存取和Apple ID -XXXX關聯的iPhone。用戶可能基於其身分或從事的工作而被這些軟體鎖定。蘋果說,雖然無法100%確定,但該公司對其偵測結果具高度信心,並請用戶不要輕忽。

Google針對身分敏感人士提供進階保護計畫(Advanced Protection Program)確保其帳號安全性。另外非營利機構AccessNow也提供免費的防護建議。
