New Delhi. In October this year, many opposition leaders had claimed that messages about hacking had come on their iPhones. These leaders had cornered the Modi government for this and alleged that the government was spying on them. Now Modi government has given instructions to iPhone manufacturing company Apple on this issue. The government has asked Apple to act cautiously in political matters and think about the political impact of such hacking before sending notifications.
American newspaper Washington Post has given this news quoting sources. The newspaper has told in its news that the Modi government has asked Apple to behave softly in political matters. According to the newspaper, three experts from Apple’s security team were also called to Delhi in case of hacking notification. Modi government officials talked to these Apple experts. It has been said in the Washington Post that the Modi government has asked Apple to take full responsibility in this matter. The government should be kept away from this. Apple had earlier said on the hacking notification that state-sponsored hackers and funding are trends and their attack methods keep changing. It is also difficult to detect such cyber attacks.
Apple had also said that sometimes such notifications are false. The company had issued a statement saying that it is possible that the alerts sent by Apple may also be wrong. The company had declared itself incapable of providing information as to why the hacking alert notifications were issued. At the same time, Modi government had clearly said that it has nothing to do with this hacking notification and the government is not spying on anyone. Politics became very heated on this issue and there was a war of words between the government and the opposition.
