  • iPhone Lockdown Mode coming in iOS 16 to protect against targeted cyber

    From OSnews@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 18 12:53:09 2022
    Apple filed a lawsuit against ‘Pegasus' spyware creator NSO Group last fall and announced it would be donating $10 million+ to organizations pursuing cyber-surveillance research and advocacy. Now taking the next step in combatting sophisticated spyware,
    Apple has announced a brand new "extreme" security feature called iPhone Lockdown Mode - coming to iPad and Mac as well - to help protect against targeted cyber attacks.
    Apple detailed the brand-new iPhone Lockdown Mode that will be available to test in updated iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura betas, along with its $10 million+ grant for cybersecurity in a Newsroom post today.

    This seems like a really good and welcome feature, so good on Apple for working on it. That being said - I wonder if it will be available in China.
