Apple confirms the iOS watering hole attack target Uighers. The company also takes a lot of issues with the Google report including the length of the attack and "the false impression of mass exploitation" they say it created. https://t.co/Hm6IrcTTKi

Looks like Apple wasn’t too happy with Google Project Zero’s weirdly context-lacking blog post either.

And they’ve responded.https://t.co/b4apzrRbPv
First Siri privacy issues, now Apple puts Google malware finding controversy behind it ahead of Tuesday. They’re blasting Google for posting about it 6 months after it was fixed. https://t.co/Dp3aAgJ72c

It took a while, but good to see Apple speak out about the iOS security holes flagged by Google last week. Its message? It’s apparently not quite as serious as they suggested https://t.co/t9eNiApfTx

#Apple has challenged some of #Google's claims regarding iOS vulnerabilities, and stresses that its own 'end-to-end' security systems are 'unmatched' by its rivals. https://t.co/f0DNSi9bbg pic.twitter.com/Fi2SDABIW6

Apple downplays the Google security team's research on iOS vulnerabilities from last week, saying it (rather interestingly) only affected websites targeted to the Uighur community. Doesn't say that it couldn't have happened elsewhere, though. via @qz https://t.co/FCEUjonwyi

Very interesting and substantial disputing of facts here: “All evidence indicates that these website attacks were only operational for a brief period, roughly two months, not 'two years' as Google implies” https://t.co/Hm6IrcTTKi

The whole statement is pretty dismissive of the targeting of the Uighur minority. Notice it doesn't actually say how many devices were infected either, just tries to suggest smaller impact than Google said https://t.co/x3p0dPpNhD pic.twitter.com/qve5zmv5lu

Is anyone else sick and tired of the fear monger and aggressive security posturing of the Google Project Zero folks?

Between spinning half truths about Apple and not giving Microsoft time until patch release before publishing one would think security was not their entire mandate. https://t.co/oChNFmTGpL
Apple has issued a rare statement about iOS security re: Google's iPhone exploits it posted last week, basically confirming my reporting about the attacks targeting Uyghur Muslims. https://t.co/UPseD5oRLx

Apple’s post implies that Google was exaggerating the case. Google’s team didn’t mention reports that Android (in use directly and in variants by probably 98%+ of those targeted) also could be exploited by the sites in question. Apple left that as subtext. https://t.co/FxvPEvvoPo

Rather than answering media questions when Google researchers disclosed a serious iPhone mobile security failure, Apple issues a statement a week later and suggests they exaggerated. It does confirm that the targeted population was China's Uighur minority. https://t.co/Ucwx6ufTbt

« Google’s post [...] creates the false impression of “mass exploitation” to “monitor the private activities of entire populations in real time,” stoking fear among all iPhone users that their devices had been compromised. This was never the case. » https://t.co/S4f64wbPkg
