Russia’s FSB Says Foreign Spies Infected Officials’ Phones With Malware

The FSB announced it uncovered an alleged large-scale foreign intelligence operation that planted malware on senior Russian officials' mobile phones to steal data, intercept calls, and enable covert audio and video monitoring. The statement opened a criminal investigation under Russian law but provides no technical indicators, forensic evidence, or attribution, so the claim remains unverified and lacks the technical detail security researchers would need to assess or corroborate it.
