Apple’s Lockdown Mode Explained
Apple's Lockdown Mode is a security feature designed to protect against spyware and zero-click attacks. It was introduced in 2022 to counter sophisticated attacks that can compromise a device without user interaction.
In today's digital age, security is crucial as phones contain sensitive information such as photos, private messages, financial data, and health information. Lockdown Mode is not for everyday use, but rather for individuals who are at high risk of being targeted by professional spies, hackers, and digital mercenaries.
High-profile individuals, including journalists, activists, politicians, and royalty, have been targeted by zero-click exploits. Apple's Lockdown Mode reduces the "attack surface" of its devices, sealing off tools that hackers exploit to gain entry.
It's about defending against professional spies, hackers, and digital mercenaries who can secretly compromise a device without the user ever tapping a link.
Lockdown Mode is a specialized feature that should be enabled by those who need it, but it's not recommended for everyone.
