SCOOP: Apple says it's not aware of anyone using Lockdown Mode getting hacked with spyware, on all kinds of devices.

There have already been a couple of documented cases of Lockdown Mode stopping spyware attacks. And there's been one case where an advanced hacking toolkit was designed to bail out if it detected Lockdown Mode on the target device.

If you're worried about spyware, you should use turn this security feature on.

This is well worth reading if you are submitting to @44CON - CFP is open (2026 Event 17th-18th September, London, UK)

Just got back from @44CON in London. Huge thanks to @alien8 and the team for organizing. This was hands down one of the best conferences I’ve been to in the UK. Honestly, it might be the best-kept secret in UK cybersecurity (at least it was to me).

The speaker lineup was incredible. There were even zero days announced (post-responsible disclosure). Nick Selby’s (@fuzztech) opening keynote set the tone, and it stayed strong all the way through to G Mark Hardy's closing talk. I’ll definitely be back next year...and you should too.

I first heard about 44CON from a Brit at @defcon this year, who described it as the closest thing to DEF CON in the UK.

He wasn’t wrong.

From hacker jeopardy and lock-picking tables to the badge (which required soldering to unlock) and of course, the talks - everything was spot on.
