iPhone ban
MINISTRY OF EMERGENCY SITUATIONS Employees of the Russian Federation were forbidden to use iPhone due to the danger of remote hacking. This became known in early January 2024.
According to the Telegram channel Mash, the requirement for a ban on the operation of Apple phones at workplaces in the Ministry of Emergency Situations will enter into force on January 10, 2024. Employees of the ministry were advised to switch to using Android devices.
 | The recommendation came to rescuers after information about a possible remote hack. Plus, if the gadget for work and home is alone, it can store secret data and state secret information. Which should not fall into the wrong hands, - says the publication Mash. |  |
The fact that employees of the EMERCOM of Russia - both the central office and territorial bodies and organizations - were recommended from January 10, 2024 not to use Apple products in their official activities, according to the minutes of the meeting led by the head of the department, Alexander Kurenkov. As Izvestia writes with reference to this document, iPhone, iPad and other similar devices are not recommended to be used "for negotiating, processing, storing and transmitting information." They cannot be carried "into the administrative buildings of the central office, territorial bodies and organizations of the Russian Emergencies Ministry."
The ban on the use of Apple equipment for official purposes is due to the fact that some units of the ministry guard classified objects, and information transmitted through such devices can "leak" to third parties, the source of the newspaper believes. According to him, most employees use one smartphone for both personal and official purposes, so buying a new one may be inconvenient and expensive for them.
