This finding reveals that not only is the US spying on Russians but also so-called allies from NATO member countries, among others. It also reveals that Apple is willfully violating its privacy policy agreements. Despite Western lies and empty gestures about freedom and privacy, it turns out the Kremlin was right to be skeptical of Apple and order its officials not to use its iPhones.
Regardless of whether these allegations hold merit, all intelligence agencies engage in sophisticated cyber-spying operations. Just last month, the US filed charges against a Russian spying ring. Enemy governments shouldn't be surprised when their foreign counterparts seek to collect intelligence on their regime, especially when that regime has violated international law by invading a sovereign nation unprovoked.
