Bits: Hackers Claim Small Breach on Apple Site

在 ServiceModel 客户端配置部分中,找不到引用协定“TranslatorService.LanguageService”的默认终结点元素。这可能是因为未找到应用程序的配置文件,或者是因为客户端元素中找不到与此协定匹配的终结点元素。

A group of hackers who have attacked a number of Web sites in recent months said Sunday that they had stolen a small number of internal passwords and usernames from an Apple server.

The information was supposedly taken from a server used by Apple for online surveys and did not belong to the public or Apple customers. The data was posted publicly on pastebin, a file-sharing Web site.

Anonymous, the group claiming?responsibility?for the attack, is believed to be working closely with hackers who were involved in Lulz Security, a hacker group?that disbanded last week after attacking a?number of sites over the past two months, including PBS.org, the United States Senate, the?Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Web site of a company?associated?with the Federal?Bureau?of Investigation.

The latest breach, which only contains 27 internal Apple usernames and passwords, is a relatively small amount of data compared to attacks on other companies, but it underscores the potential for other attacks by Anonymous.

Apple could not be reached for comment to confirm whether the information was stolen from the company.

In the Twitter message about the data breach, hackers said Apple could become a larger target but that members were currently busy with other goals. “Apple?could be target, too. But don’t worry, we are busy elsewhere,” the group wrote in the message.

Earlier this month Lulz Security claimed it had breached Apple’s iCloud servers, which are used for the company’s cloud music and photo service that is expected to launch later this year, but the group never posted any of this alleged information online.

This latest breach, and other?recent attacks on?corporate?and government Web sites, is part of a growing movement by hackers called Anti Security, or AntiSec online. The public stated goal of this movement is to expose loopholes and software?vulnerabilities on company and?government?Web sites and servers. Security experts and law?enforcement?see the string of AntiSec-labeled attacks as a?justification?by hackers to wreak?havoc?online.
