"Apple's Hack Alerts Spark Tension as India Faces Scrutiny Over Journalist Spyware Attacks"

Apple faced backlash from the Indian government after notifying journalists and opposition politicians of potential hacking attempts by state-sponsored actors using Pegasus spyware. The Indian government, led by the BJP, scrutinized Apple's threat detection methods and pressured the company to retract or downplay the warnings. Despite this, Apple stood by its findings, and the situation underscores the tension between tech companies and governments over digital surveillance and privacy. Investigations into the use of spyware continue, with no clear resolution in sight, and the Indian government has neither confirmed nor denied the use of Pegasus.
