The warning message from Apple is titled “ALERT: State-sponsored attackers may be targeting your iPhone”. It further states that “These attackers are likely targeting you individually because of who you are or what you do. If your device is compromised by a state-sponsored attacker, they may be able to remotely access your sensitive data, communications, or even the camera and microphone.” This message also urges the recipient to take the warning seriously. The central government or any agencies have not yet responded to the allegations raised by Mahua Moitra.
