    Apple threat notifications are designed to inform and assist users who may have been targeted by state-sponsored attackers.

    Apple threat notifications are designed to inform and assist users who may have been targeted by state-sponsored attackers. These users are individually targeted because of who they are or what they do. Unlike traditional cybercriminals, state-sponsored attackers apply exceptional resources to target a very small number of specific individuals and their devices, which makes these attacks much harder to detect and prevent. State-sponsored attacks are highly complex, cost millions of dollars to develop and often have a short shelf life. The vast majority of users will never be targeted by such attacks.

    If Apple discovers activity consistent with a state-sponsored attack, we will notify the targeted users in two ways:

    •A Threat Notification will be displayed at the top of the page after the user has signed in to appleid.apple.com.

    •Apple will send an email and iMessage notification to the email addresses and phone numbers associated with the user’s Apple ID.

    These notifications will provide additional steps that notified users can take to help protect their devices, including enabling Lockdown Mode.
