Trash headline from TechCrunch; the exact statement from Apple was:

> We are not aware of any successful mercenary spyware attacks against a Lockdown Mode-enabled Apple device.

Good call-out, and it's also nice to see that Apple tried to speak accurately here.

Oh geez. Legal did not give them the go ahead to make the unqualified statement: “We are not aware of any successful spyware attacks” they had to explicitly qualify it with “mercenary”.

Isn't that assumed? Obviously Apple can't check every iPhone owner to see if they have been hacked now or in the past
