Russia claims thousands of iPhones hacked in major spy operation, blames US, AppleWithout providing evidence, Russia's Federal Security Service claimed on Monday that several thousand iPhones in the country had been compromised in a recently uncovered espionage operation that it attributed the US government, The Washington Post reported. A Kaspersky representative told The Washington Post that researchers were still investigating the effort and lacked sufficient technical proof to identify its source. An Apple spokesperson while denying the charges said, "We have never worked with any government to insert a backdoor into any Apple product and never will," according to The Washington Post. The foreign ministries of China and Israel did not reply to calls for comment after the FSB said that hacked diplomats were from those nations among others, according to The Washington Post. The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence refused to provide any comment to The Washington Post.
