Germany says lawmakers’ iPhones may have been hacked with spyware

The German government is warning that lawmakers and public figures may have been targeted by government-backed spyware, following Apple's notifications to them that their iPhones may have been hacked. Apple's threat notifications are sent to people it thinks may have been targeted by spyware, which can steal sensitive information. The German federal cybersecurity office advises those who receive the notifications to assume their devices may have been compromised. Others outside of Germany, including a Beirut-based filmmaker, have also received the threat alert from Apple.
