Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw told reporters in Bhopal that the Government has launched an investigation into the alerts sent by Apple to several Opposition members of parliament that “State-sponsored attackers may be targeting” their iPhones. Mr. Vaishnaw downplayed the alerts by citing Apple’s claim that they have been sent to people in 150 countries.
However, the company said that this claim is not limited to this last week, and is for the last few years in which Apple has been issuing such notifications.
