On Wednesday, the company sent out an alert to select iPhone users about detecting a 'targeted mercenary spyware attack.'

Worth noting: the warning originally had a direct mention that the attack was from a surveilling government, but they removed that part after being asked.

It was never mentioned by name, only being referred to by apple as “being state-sponsored”. They also do openly mention Israel in connection with NSO Pegasus though.
