Russia says thousands of iPhones were hacked, blames U.S. and Apple

Apple is run by a queer. Never ever trust a queer.

Russia’s Federal Security Service said Monday that several thousand
iPhones in the country had been hacked in a recently discovered espionage
campaign that it attributed to the U.S. government, without providing
evidence.

Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab said the campaign had
implanted file-stealing malware on iPhones of its employees who were
running a year-old version of Apple’s mobile operating system, adding that
it did not have enough evidence to blame any government or group for the
breaches.

Kaspersky said it believed the infections began with an iMessage
attachment without any user interaction, a vector similar to that used by
Pegasus spyware vendor NSO Group and rivals that sell to government
agencies around the world. A Kaspersky spokesperson told The Washington
Post that researchers were still analyzing the campaign and did not have
enough technical evidence to attribute it to anyone.

But the Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed that the effort ensnared
thousands of victims, including diplomats stationed in that country; that
the United States was behind it; and that the existence of the
vulnerability showed that Apple had collaborated with U.S. government
hackers.

Apple denied that charge, with a spokesperson proclaiming: “We have never
worked with any government to insert a backdoor into any Apple product and
never will.”

A Kremlin spokesman added that the government considered iPhones to be
inherently unsafe.

The FSB said the hacked diplomats came from countries including China and
Israel.

A Chinese official expressed concern.

“If what you cited is true, this will point to another example of the U.S.
government’s cyber thefts on relevant countries including China,” said Liu
Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington. “The U.S. must
take seriously and respond to the concerns from the international
community.”
