The Indian Express reported on the same day, citing Vaishnau, that cybersecurity agencies have launched relevant investigations, and "Apple has confirmed receipt of investigation notice.

Reuters reported that earlier this week, Indian National Congress Party leader Rahul Gandhi claimed that opposition party members' phones had been attacked. Previously, some lawmakers shared phone screenshots on social media, showing Apple phone manufacturers issuing warnings: "Apple believes that you have become the target of government backed attackers who are attempting to remotely harm Apple phones associated with your Apple ID

A senior Indian government official said he received the same warning from Apple.

Apple explained that some of the "hacker" attack warnings sent by Apple phones may be "false alarms" or some attacks may not have been detected. (Xinhua News Agency)
