The American company Apple introduced a new “Lock mode” function to protect VIP users, especially politicians and activists who may be the target of hackers because of their status or work.
As reported by Ukrinform, this was reported by CNBC.
“Lock Mode” disables various features on the iPhone to make it less vulnerable to spyware, greatly reducing the number of features that attackers can access and potentially hack.
Specifically, Lockdown Mode disables many preview features in iMessage, restricts JavaScript in Safari, blocks loading of new configuration profiles, blocks wired connections – thus preventing device data from being copied and disabled requests to Apple services, including FaceTime.
It was noted that the technology giant will pay up to $ 2 million to anyone who finds a vulnerability in Lockdown Mode.
The new feature is expected to be available for iPhone, iPad and Mac users this fall. It can be tested in beta for now.
As Ukrinform reported, at the beginning of March, the American company Apple stopped the sale of all its devices in Russia.
