Russian government has asked Apple to provide the access to the company’s source code in an effort to assure its iOS devices and Macintoshes aren’t vulnerable to spying. Not just this, the government has demanded the same from SAP as well, which is an enterprise software that manages business operations and customer relationships. The idea came just a week after a security researcheraccused Apple of building surveillance backdoors into iOS devices to help government spy on Apple users. Last March, Russian government banned the Members of its cabinet from using iPads and suggested them to use Samsung tablets instead.
