In its notification, Apple says it's been sending these types of warnings to affected users since 2021.
However, it seems these notifications first started using the "mercenary spyware attacks" language more recently. Apple described the spyware attacks in Aprilas such, but TechCrunchreports that previous language from Apple described the attacks as "state-sponsored." That language no longer appears in Apple's warnings.
Apple says in the notification that the iPhone users receiving the warning are likely being targeted due to who they are or what they do. In viewing social media posts from users sharing the notification, it seems a significant number of these users work as journalists or in news media in some capacity.
The spyware warning from Apple doesn't provide any specific details regarding the threat. This is usually the case with Apple's warnings, which are meant to warn users so that they take proactive measures to protect their accounts and devices before they are actually compromised.
