After the Pegasus mystery, the finger of suspicion points to a government agency, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said on Wednesday, a day after several opposition leaders claimed they were alerted by Apple about a “state-sponsored” attack on their iPhones. At the moment, it is only a suspicion, Chidambaram said.

“It is undeniable that hundreds of Opposition leaders got an alert from Apple of a state-sponsored attempt to compromise their phones. Why only Opposition leaders? Who will be interested in compromising the phones of Opposition leaders,” he said.
