Apple on Wednesday announced it plans to introduce an enhanced security setting called Lockdown Mode in iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura to safeguard high-risk users against "highly targeted cyberattacks."

苹果本周三宣布计划 iOS 16、iPadOS 16 和 macOS Ventura 为了保护高风险用户免受“高度针对性的网络攻击”，引入了一种叫做锁定模式的增强安全设置。

The "extreme, optional protection" feature, now available for preview in beta versions of its upcoming software, is designed to counter a surge in threats posed by private companies developing state-sponsored surveillanceware such as Pegasus, DevilsTongue, Predator, and Hermit.

即将推出的“最大可选保护”功能beta 预览版本旨在应对私营企业开发国家资助的监控软件(如Pegasus、DevilsTongue、Predator和Hermit ）威胁。

Lockdown Mode, when enabled, "hardens device defenses and strictly limits certain functionalities, sharply reducing the attack surface that potentially could be exploited by highly targeted mercenary spyware," Apple said in a statement.

苹果在一份声明中表示，在启用锁定模式后，“它可以加强设备防御，严格限制某些功能，从而大大减少可能被高度针对性的间谍软件使用的攻击。”

This includes blocking most message attachment types other than images and disabling link previews in Messages; rendering inoperative just-in-time (JIT) JavaScript compilation; removing support for shared albums in Photos; and preventing incoming FaceTime calls from unknown numbers.

除图像以外的大多数消息附件类型以及禁止消息中的链接预览；无效的即时 ( JIT ) JavaScript 编译；取消对照片中共享相册的支持；防止未知号码 FaceTime 来电。

Other restrictions cut off wired connections with a computer or accessory when an iPhone is locked and, most importantly, prohibit configuration profiles — a feature that's been abused to sideload apps bypassing the App Store — from being installed.

当 iPhone当被锁定时，其他限制将切断与计算机或附件的有线连接。最重要的是，禁止安装配置文件——这是一种滥用 App Store 安装应用程序的功能。

The tech giant also noted that it plans to incorporate additional countermeasures to Lockdown Mode over time, while simultaneously inviting feedback from the security research community to identify "qualifying findings" that will be eligible for up to $2 million in bug bounties.

科技巨头还指出，它计划随着时间的推移对锁定模式采取额外对策，并邀请安全研究社区的反馈来确定“合格的调查结果”，这将有资格获得高达200万美元的漏洞奖励。

It's worth noting that the feature will not be switched on by default, but can be accessed by heading to Settings > Privacy & Security > Lockdown Mode.

值得注意的是，默认功能不会打开，但可以通过“设置”来设置>隐私和安全>访问锁定模式。

The announcement arrives a month after Apple debuted a new Rapid Security Response feature in iOS 16 and macOS Ventura that aims to deploy security fixes without the need for a full operating system version update.

该公告是在 Apple 在 iOS 16 和 macOS Ventura 新的快速安全响应功能在一个月后发布，旨在部署安全修复程序，而无需更新完整的操作系统版本。

Google and Meta offer analogous software features known as Advanced Account Protection and Facebook Protect that are meant to secure the accounts of individuals who are at an "elevated risk of targeted online attacks" from takeover attempts. But it won't be surprising if Google follows suit with a similar feature on Android.

Google 和 Meta 提供类似的软件功能，称为 Advanced Account Protection 和 Facebook Protect，旨在保护“有针对性的在线攻击风险较高”的个人账户免受接管试图。但是，如果 Google 在 Android 模仿类似功能也就不足为奇了。

爱必大费，多藏必厚亡。知足不辱，知止不殆，能长久。

——《道德经.第四十四章
