Title: Computer hackers claim to have breached Apple Inc.’s site
Post by: rdmaloyjr on July 04, 2011, 09:06:07 PM

Computer hackers claim to have breached Apple Inc.’s site, posting what they alleged were internal passwords and usernames from one of the technology company’s servers.

Anonymous, the group claiming to be behind the attack, on Sunday posted information allegedly used by Apple for online surveys, rather than data having to do
 
with customers, on a public file-sharing Web site.

In a Twitter message about the claimed breach, the group said Apple might become a bigger target but that the group is currently too busy with other efforts.

The latest incident come amid an expanding campaign by hackers called Anti Security, or AntiSec. AntiSec reportedly includes hackers from both the online vigilante group

Anonymous and hackers from the now-defunct Lulz Security.
