Here's how to check if that Apple Threat Notification on your iPhone is real

Key Points:

• Apple has sent legitimate Threat Notifications to users in 110 countries, alerting them that their iPhone, Mac, or iPad may have been targeted by mercenary spyware used by governments to attack individuals with sensitive information.
• These notifications have been updated to provide a clearer user experience, helping recipients understand the threat and take appropriate steps to protect their accounts and devices.
• Mercenary spyware attacks are costly, short-lived, and difficult to detect, but Apple only issues these alerts when it has high confidence that a user has been specifically targeted.
• Users can verify the legitimacy of these notifications by checking their device lock screen, settings, associated email from threat-notifications@email.apple.com, or their Apple account page, and should never respond to requests for passwords or verification codes.
• Apple emphasizes it will never ask users to click links, install apps or profiles, or provide sensitive information via email or phone, cautioning users to avoid any such suspicious requests.
