After Apple's warnings in October about potential hacking attempts by 'state-sponsored attackers' on iPhones, the Indian government urged the company to soften its message, the Washington Post reported. Government officials called Apple's representatives in India and demanded the company's assistance in weakening the political impact of the warnings. Even Apple security experts were called in and urged to provide alternative explanations for the warnings to the users.
