In an attempt to protect its most vulnerable users, Apple has announced an upcoming feature designed to thwart hacking attempts from government malware. Apple’s announcement specifically called malware created by the Israeli spyware firm NSO Group, which was recently caught spying on dozens of journalists, government officials, and dissidents..

The new feature is called “Lockdown Mode” and Apple described it as “extreme” and “groundbreaking” security capability in its press release published on Wednesday.
