Apple, angry at Google, hits back at hack claims

September 11, 2019 by Percy Jacob Rwandarugali Leave a Comment

Last week Google disclosed a large-scale hacking effort that it said targeted users of Apple devices. It was a bombshell story.

But now Apple has gone on the attack – angry in public, and absolutely incensed in private at what is being seen as something of a stitch up. Google is standing by its research.

In a statement posted on Friday, Apple took issue with Google’s characterization that this was a broad attack on all iPhone users.

“Google’s post, issued six months after iOS patches were released, creates the false impression of ‘mass exploitation’ to ‘monitor the private activities of entire populations in real time,’ stoking fear among all iPhone users that their devices had been compromised,” it reads.

“This was never the case.”

Apple’s bone of contention isn’t so much about what Google’s Project Zero team included in its report. Rather, Apple is upset about what was left out. The view from Cupertino is that Google’s business interests in China led it to pull back on describing the attack as being targeted at the persecuted Uighur community.
