New Delhi, November 2

The government’s cybersecurity agency CERT-In has started its investigation into the issue of the Apple threat notification received by several Opposition MPs and a notice has been sent to the company, IT Secretary S Krishnan said on Thursday.

“CERT-In has started its probe…. They (Apple) will cooperate in the investigation,” Krishnan told reporters on the sidelines of an event.

CERT-In is India’s nodal agency for responding to computer security incidents.

Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar had earlier this week said the government wanted Apple to clarify if its devices were secure and why “threat notifications” were sent to people in over 150 countries, given the company’s repeated claims about its products being designed for privacy.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
