Several opposition leaders received an alert on their iPhones five months ago about what appeared to be a state-sponsored cyberattack. Apple wrote to the politicians informing them that their phones are being watched by the government and that they could be hacked at any time. Five months after the phone hacking alert was issued, the government claims Apple still hasn't provided adequate information.

In an interview to PTI, Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajiv Chandrashekhar said that the government has asked two questions to Apple. First- Are their devices secure and if yes, what is the reason for sending the alert to the opposition members.

He said that Apple will never accept that there is a flaw in its device. Not only Apple, no other company will accept this, even if their devices are flawed. Chandrasekhar said, "We are asking an obvious question: is your phone insecure? The answer is not entirely clear."
