The email from Apple said jackers have remotely compromised the iPhone
associated with Apple users' Apple ID in at least 92 countries (of the two
hundred countries in the world).
Apple has high confidence in this warning where Apple begs its customers in
half the world to please take these many Apple focused cyberattacks very
seriously.
Apple has warned people in at least 150 of the 200 countries in the world
that since 2021 their highly insecure Apple devices have often successfully
been hit by multiple cyber attacks.

Arlen, you are a hilarious idiot and Troll.

Thank you. I have no idea who this oft-quoted bete noire "Arlen" is,
but unless he is very influential, I don't imagine all of those
publications could have been taken in by just that one person.

Reminds me of the book 1984, where every ill in the society was
deliberately ascribed to the invented arch enemy Goldstein.

Up to the actual link in the originla post is a real news item. The
three paragraphs after the link are just the usual nonsense troll
garbage.

To be clear, this does not mean -all- users in those 92 countries.

It means high profile people (politicians, journalists, activists,
company execs, etc) who are likely targets of sophisticated attacks such
as made possible by NSO Group Malware (and others).

So. Unless you are one of the very, very, very few who are targeted,
this attack is not a worry but it does give some trolls an
uncontrollable urge to belch all over the place, again.
