Indian authorities are investigating a cyberattack on Tata Electronics (one of Apple's key manufacturing partners in India) after a ransomware group posted stolen files on the dark web, including component lists, supplier details, and photographs related to Apple's yet-to-be-released iPhone 18 Pro. S. Krishnan, secretary at India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, confirmed the breach has been referred to the country's Computer Emergency Response Team. The leak, which also exposed documents belonging to Tesla, Qualcomm, and TSMC, is particularly sensitive as it reveals confidential supply chain information Apple does not publicly disclose — with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max expected to launch in September; Tata has engaged a global consultant to carry out a forensic audit.
