Seriously? Apple Warns About Spyware. *Spyware*.

Oh, joy. Another week, another security clusterfuck at Apple. This time, it’s a bunch of targeted spyware attacks hitting folks in over 90 countries. Apparently, some state-sponsored assholes are using zero-click exploits – meaning you don’t even have to *do* anything for your iPhone to get pwned. Just existing is enough these days.

They’re pushing out security updates (finally!), but let’s be real: this wouldn’t be happening if their shit wasn’t so riddled with holes in the first place. It affects iPhones, iPads, Macs – basically anything with an Apple logo. They claim it’s a small number of users, but “small” to Apple is probably still more than your entire town.

The spyware’s called Pegasus and other nasty bits, and it can do everything from steal your messages and photos to listen in on your calls. So yeah, fun times. They’re telling people to update *immediately*, which is what they should have been doing all along instead of focusing on slightly different shades of beige for their laptops.

And don’t even get me started on the fact that this has been going on for a while. They just *now* decided to tell us? Fantastic. Just bloody fantastic.

Look, I once had to debug a router running firmware from 1998 that was more secure than modern iOS. Seriously. A *router*. And it didn’t require a monthly security advisory just to stay alive. This is pathetic.
