Spyware attacks increasingly target ordinary citizens, not just high-value targets

Spyware campaigns are becoming more indiscriminate, affecting everyday people rather than traditionally high-value targets. The AdFection spyware demonstrated this by infecting anyone visiting websites with advertising. Apple Threat Notifications analyzed by iVerify reveal cases like a bus driver's children and a stay-at-home mom in Ottawa, and a limousine driver in Australia—people with no obvious reason to be targeted. This trend suggests enterprise employees now face elevated spyware risk regardless of job sensitivity or public profile.
