Apple plans new feature to protect journalists and human rights workers from spyware
CNN
Apple on Wednesday said it will release a new feature this fall for iPhone, Mac and iPad operating software that is designed to protect high-risk users such as journalists and human rights workers from sophisticated spyware that has been linked to human rights abuses.
It's one of the biggest steps yet by a major tech firm to combat the lucrative spyware industry, whose tools can break into devices without the victim clicking on anything. It also comes as the Biden administration continues to try to curb the use of spyware.
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is making a new digital ad buy in Pennsylvania aimed specifically at targeting Nikki Haley supporters, campaign officials told CNN, marking the latest sign of the Biden team’s growing efforts to try to woo would-be Republican voters who find Donald Trump unacceptable.
