Opposition leaders have been left rattled due to the Apple alert row, where a message was sent on the iPhones of politicians regarding an alleged ‘state sponsored’ hacking attempt.
Days before Apple warned some users, including opposition MPs in India, of "state-sponsored attackers" trying to remotely compromise their devices, a government advisory had addressed "multiple vulnerabilities" in the company's products.
Many Opposition leaders on Tuesday said they received an alert from Apple warning them of 'state-sponsored attackers trying to remotely compromise' their iPhones and alleged hacking by the government, a charge that Union Minister Piyush Goyal dismissed
Hours after some opposition leaders claimed that they had received messages from Apple warning of 'state-sponsored' hackers trying to access their iPhones, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar has posed a series of pointed questions to the tech giant.
Apple on Tuesday responded to opposition leaders' claims - that they received messages warning them of "state-sponsored" hackers - and said it "does not attribute the notifications to any specific state-sponsored attacker".
