The article says the most recent version of iOS targeted is 15.7, which don't have the lockdown mode (it was introduced in iOS 16). There isn't any details on how the exploit works yet, so it's hard to say.

It kicks off from a dodgy attachment received in iMessage. Lockdown mode disables attachments so in theory it should prevent this.
