Consumer electronics behemoth, Apple (AAPL), is suddenly navigating troubled waters. Just as investor nerves were calmed regarding the CEO transition, a memory chip-led rise in prices for Macs and iPads resulted in a sharp decline in the stock. In fact, the 6.1% fall last week on June 25 was AAPL stock's worst since April 2025.
Now, a data leak at its Indian manufacturer, Tata Electronics, has come as another jolt for the iPhone maker. Sensitive details such as components, supplier details, and images of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models were released on the dark web. The compromised files also reportedly contained granular vendor mappings and internal codenames. The ransomware group “World Leaks” has claimed responsibility for the breach, claiming to have stolen over 200,000 files.
