If Apple sends you a push notification alerting you to a spyware attack, take it seriously

Apple has begun sending push notifications to iPhone lock screens to alert users when the company detects government spyware targeting their devices. This represents a user-facing notification system designed to inform individuals of active targeted threats.

Why it matters: iPhone users who are high-value targets (journalists, activists, dissidents) need to know they are under active surveillance; this notification can prompt immediate device isolation and incident response.
