iPhone ‘attack’ issue | ‘Submit phone, cooperate in investigation,’ says Ashwini Vaishnaw to Opposition

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on February 9 asked the Opposition to submit their phones and cooperate in investigation to find the truth over Apple allegedly sending a message to them about "State-sponsored hackers" trying to attack their iPhones.

Replying to supplementaries during the Question Hour in Rajya Sabha, Minister of Electronics and Information Technology Vaishnaw asserted that only making allegations will not work and there must be cooperation with the law-enforcement agencies.

He was responding to Priyanka Chaturvedi (Shiv Sena UBT) who said that on October 30 last year, she along with other Opposition MPs had received an SMS and email from Apple with a message that said "State-sponsored attackers may be attacking your iPhone".
