Anonymous, the hacker group which is some of the best hacks out there like PayPal, MasterCard and Visa, in support of whistleblower website Wikileaks has now broken into an Apple cloud server. The group confessed that it had hacked into an Apple server used for technical online surveys on twitter. It tweeted: “Apple cloud be a target, too. But don’t worry we are busy elsewhere”.
Apple is considered by the majority of people out there the holy-grail of hacking as it has one of the most robust systems in the world. The timing of the attack is also significant as Apple recently announced the arrival of its cloud storage facility, the iCloud. The cloud locker facility allows users to store music, apps, documents and calendar on the cloud. The success of the offering depends on user’s willingness to move their data to Apple servers. The current hack can raise questions about the security of iCloud.
It’s crazy that so many hackers would be able to unite and hack into a cloud server infrastructure like Apple. What are you thoughts on this?
