Russia and U.S. trade accusations over iPhone hacking.
TL;DR Summary
Russia's Federal Security Service claims that several thousand iPhones in the country were hacked in an espionage campaign attributed to the U.S. government and Apple. Cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab said the campaign implanted file-stealing malware on iPhones of its employees, but did not have enough evidence to blame any government or group for the breaches. Apple denied the charge and stated that it has never worked with any government to insert a backdoor into any Apple product. The FSB claimed that the effort ensnared thousands of victims, including diplomats stationed in that country.
