The commission became aware of the targeting following messages issued by #Apple to thousands of #iPhone owners in November telling them they were "targeted by state-sponsored attackers," the two EU officials said. It was the first time Apple had sent a mass alert to users that they were in #government hackers' crosshairs.

The EU itself likes to incubate surveillance plans against its own population but the #politicians of course do not want to be monitored themselves.
