Apple releases malware removal tool after being hit by computer hackers - Telegraph.co.uk

"The malware was employed in an attack against Apple and other companies, and was spread through a website for software developers. We identified a small number of systems within Apple that were infected and isolated them from our network. "There is no evidence that any data left Apple." It added that it was releasing an updated Java malware removal tool that would remove the malware from computers if found. Last week Facebook said on its security blog the company discovered that its system had been targeted in a sophisticated attack in January. The attack occurred when a handful of the company's employees visited a developer's compromised website, which led to malware being installed on their laptops. Facebook also said it has found no evidence that user data was compromised. Twitter, which disclosed that it had been breached earlier this month and that hackers might gave accessed some information on about 250,000 users, was hit in the same campaign, according to a person close to the investigation. via Technology - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNHbNB6QRsPuaNIhMjg9sH2-_CXEIw&url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/9882314/Apple-releases-malware-removal-tool-after-being-hit-by-computer-hackers.html
