After the Pegasus mystery, the finger of suspicion points to a government agency, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said on Wednesday, a day after several opposition leaders claimed they were alerted by Apple about a “state-sponsored” attack on their iPhones. At the moment, it is only a suspicion, Chidambaram said.


“It is undeniable that hundreds of Opposition leaders got an alert from Apple of a state-sponsored attempt to compromise their phones. Why only Opposition leaders? Who will be interested in compromising the phones of Opposition leaders,” he said.


“After the Pegasus mystery (not resolved until this date), the finger of suspicion points to a government agency. At the moment it is only a suspicion,” the Congress leader said. Several opposition leaders claimed they received an alert from Apple warning of “state-sponsored attackers trying to remotely compromise” their iPhones.
