Apple latest hacking target

After Sony, Citigroup and Google, Apple have become the latest big company to be targeted by hackers. A group called Antisec posted a tweet on Sunday in which they claimed to have stolen sensitive information from the technology giant.

Antisec said they had retrieved a number of administrator usernames and passwords by exploiting a weakness in software used by Cupertino, but also said: "But don´t worry, we are busy elsewhere."

Although it seems payment information is safe, this is another worrying incident in what is becoming a hacking trend.

Apple declined to comment.
