Apple’s Computers Hacked

February 19, 2013 by 1 Comment

A report today from Reuters that Apple was attacked by hackers who manage to infiltrate a small number of employee computers. Apple confirmed the breach and is said to be working on a release to Mac OS X to protect customers from the malicious software used in the attack. The same group which targeted Facebook on Friday is said to be responsible.

    Apparently the perpetrators are the same Chinese hackers that maliciously breached Facebook:

    And apparently that wasn’t enough for them, as the Chinese Army seems busy nefariously hacking systems in the USA:

    The USA has some big muscles, and I hope it flexes them to defend itself against this country.
