Apple is facing a serious problem this week. Hackers have attacked Tata Electronics, a key partner in India. They stole over 630GB of confidential data. Much of this data is about Apple's future products. The attack happened on June 23 and shocked the tech world.
The stolen files include designs for the iPhone 18 Pro. Hackers also got information about Apple's new A20 Pro chip. This chip might improve camera quality and display security. Documents about Apple's C2 modem were taken too. Apple has been building its own modem for years.
A ransomware group called World Leaks posted the files online. More than 200,000 files appeared on the dark web. The files reveal which companies supply parts for Apple. Apple considers this information extremely sensitive. Competitors could use it to gain an advantage.
Apple and Tata are now investigating the breach together. Tata has limited access to its internal systems. India currently makes about 26% of the world's iPhones. This partnership is very important for both companies. The incident shows how difficult it is to protect secrets.
