Russia claims- America is spying with iPhone: Said- Israel, China and NATO diplomats on target

Russia has claimed that the US is hacking iPhones to spy on them. According to Russia's Federal Security Service FSB, it has exposed the American surveillance system in these phones. FSB said- American hackers targeted diplomats of Israel, Syria, China, and NATO members in an espionage campaign.
Apart from this, the phones of many local Russian people and diplomats working in countries that were part of the Soviet Union were also hacked. FSB said- America's special service was carrying out this intelligence operation. The Russian agency also claimed that there is close cooperation between the US National Security Agency (NSA) and the Apple company.
However, he did not provide any evidence that the Apple company was aware of this spying. At the same time, the Apple company has rejected the FSB's allegations. He said- We have never tampered with the phone in collaboration with the government of any country and will never do so.
NSA refused to make any statement regarding this. On the other hand, the Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab company said that the devices of several of its employees were compromised through this operation. Kaspersky said in a blog – evidence of espionage was first found in 2019 and it continues till now. However, he claimed that he was not the main target of this cyber attack.
Russia's Foreign Ministry said- This proves that iPhones made in America are completely transparent. Data was being collected on a large scale by cyber attacks on them. According to the ministry, the US intelligence agency has been using IT companies for years to collect internet users' data without their knowledge.
According to Harvard University's Belfer Center Cyber 2022 Power Index, America is at the forefront of cyber power. After that comes the number of China, Russia, Britain, and Australia. Earlier, the Kremlin had asked officials to stop using iPhones in view of the 2024 presidential election in Russia. He had expressed apprehension that America's intelligence agencies were keeping an eye on Russia through this.
The FSB is Russia's premier security agency and the main successor agency to the Soviet Union's KGB. It was founded in 1995 by Boris Yeltsin. Its headquarter is in Moscow. It is headed by Alexander Bortnikov who reports directly to Putin, the President of Russia.
