Apple alerts Senior Congress leader KC Venugopal about ‘malicious spyware’ attack on his phone
New Delhi: Senior Congress leader and party organization in-charge, KC Venugopal, claimed on Saturday that a "malicious spyware" had been detected on his phone. Venugopal, who represents Kerala's Alappuzha constituency in Parliament, shared this information through a post on the social media platform X.
"Thank you PM Modi ji, for sending your favourite malicious spyware on my phone also," Venugopal wrote. He added, "Apple has been kind enough to intimate me about this special present of yours!"
Venugopal also shared a screenshot of the alert he received from Apple, which read: "This is not a repeat notice — this is to inform you that we detected another attack against your device."
Venugopal accused the Modi government of acting in a "criminal and unconstitutional manner" by targeting political opponents and invading their privacy. "The message of the Lok Sabha elections was that the people reject any attack on the Constitution and the BJP’s fascist agenda," he said.
He vowed to oppose what he described as a "blatantly unconstitutional act" and a breach of privacy.

Trump warns Iran of being “wiped off the face of this earth” if targeted; Tehran issues counter warn
Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States would destroy Iran if any attempt was made to assassinate him, issuing one of his strongest warnings yet amid rising tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Speaking in an interview on NewsNation’s Katie Pavlich Tonight, Trump said he had given what he described as “very firm instructions” to his advisers. “If anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this earth,” he said, adding that the entire country would be “blown up” in the event of such an attack.
The remarks followed earlier statements by the U.S. President in which he said contingency instructions were already in place to obliterate Iran should it be found responsible for an attempt on his life.
According to an AP report, Iran responded by issuing a direct warning against any action targeting its leadership. General Abolfazl Shekarchi, a spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces, said Trump was fully aware of the consequences of any aggression toward Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“Trump knows that if any hand of aggression is extended toward our leader, we will not only cut that hand, but we will also set fire to their world,” General Shekarchi said.
President Trump warned Tuesday that the U.S. would respond forcefully if Iran acts on alleged assassination threats against him. Speaking exclusively with NewsNation’s @KatiePavlich, Trump said, “Anything ever happens, the whole country is going to get blown up." @KatiePavlichNN… pic.twitter.com/JA5YeHc2RE
