Russian spy agency says foreign spies turned officials' smartphones into surveillance devices

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) alleges that foreign intelligence agencies implanted malware on smartphones of senior Russian officials to steal data and conduct surveillance. The FSB has initiated a criminal investigation but has not provided evidence or details about the malware, affected officials, or the responsible agency. Previous accusations by the FSB include a 2023 claim about US National Security Agency (NSA) compromising iPhones, which was linked to Kaspersky's 'Operation Triangulation' campaign.
