German authorities have issued an urgent warning to officials and lawmakers who received Apple threat notifications, advising them to assume their iPhones are no longer secure due to a suspected state-backed spyware campaign. The attack is believed to exploit a zero-click vulnerability, allowing infection without any action by the device owner. The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has advised those affected to update their software, enable Lockdown Mode, and consider changing their phone number and resetting accounts. While the identity of the attackers remains unknown, security officials suspect the involvement of state actors.
