iPhone 18 Pro ‘drop test’ images, parts list included in ransomware leak

Macworld Reuters reported last week that Tata Electronics in India had a “cybersecurity incident” that resulted in more than 200,000 Tata files being stolen and posted to the internet in a purported ransomware attack. We’re now learning that many of those files involved projects with Apple, and in a new report on Monday, Reuters details that the supplier lists, parts, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro were included in those documents that can now be found on the dark web. Tata Electronics is an electronics manufacturing company in India that is under contract with Apple to produce the iPhone. The contract is part of Apple’s effort to diversify its iPhone manufacturing, which is concentrated in China. In Reuters’ review of the documents, they found at least six files that map the iPhone 18 Pro chips, battery, and cameras to their suppliers. The files also detail where Apple uses several suppliers for a part, and where only a few suppliers are used. Reuters s
