Apple Threat News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

India's cybersecurity agency has launched an investigation into the Apple threat notification issue raised by opposition leaders.

India's CERT-In has initiated an investigation into the Apple threat notification issue reported by opposition MPs, and a notice has been sent to the company, according to IT Secretary S Krishnan. He expressed hope for Apple's cooperation in the probe. Several opposition leaders received alerts from Apple about "state-sponsored attackers" targeting their iPhones, leading to allegations of government hacking, which IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw denied.

​Such assistance could be hard to come by. Apple's threat notifications are not attributed to any source because it can't be sure whether these are false alarms or others have gone undetected. The company issued a security update within days of the release of iOS 17 to what is being seen as an attempt to limit risk from the Predator spyware, detected on the phone of an Egyptian presidential candidate. Such a response is not uncommon. Google patched two security gaps within weeks of each other in September.

New Delhi, Oct 31 (PTI) The government expects Apple to clarify if its devices are secure and why 'threat notifications' were sent to people in over 150 countries, given the company's repeated claims about its products being designed for privacy, Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Tuesday.
