Spyware, which monitors every move of users moment by moment, is now everywhere in our lives. In fact, in a news we shared with you a few days ago, we mentioned that the US-based technology giant Google has detected a new spyware, and this spyware threatens both iOS and Android users.
Now there has been a new development regarding spyware, which is generally bought by governments and used against journalists and rival politicians. US-based technology giant Apple has announced a new feature developed for iOS and iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura. This optional feature, called “Lockdown” (Lockdown Mode), will provide maximum protection against spyware. So what exactly is this feature and how does it work?
Here’s what Apple’s new security feature looks like:
The feature called Lockdown, developed by Apple, increases the security layer of smart devices very seriously. So much so that after this feature is activated; Most of the attachments other than the photo in an incoming message will be blocked. The feature, which prohibits access to unsafe sites, will make Apple Services, including FaceTime, unusable. Lockdown, which prevents wired connection with computers and accessories, will also not allow configuration profiles to be loaded.
When Apple’s Lockdown Mode is activated, the phone’s features will be largely unavailable. This is a clear indication that the feature in question is not suitable for ordinary users. But Apple seems to have taken the spyware issue more seriously than ever before. Because a new category has been created for Lockdown as part of the Apple Security Award program. Developers who find service-related vulnerabilities will earn twice as much as those who find other vulnerabilities. The maximum reward set by Apple for this mode was announced as $ 2 million.
