A hacking campaign dubbed AntiSec, said to include hackers from Anonymous and the now-disbanded group LulzSec, claims to have broken into an Apple server and posted a document to the Internet containing usernames and passwords.
In a Twitter post on Sunday, Anonymous said that Apple might be one of its next targets in the AntiSec campaign.
“Apple could be target, too. But don’t worry, we are busy elsewhere,” the posting said, in what appeared to be a warning to the Cupertino-based tech giant.
Via the Pastebin website, the group posted a small number of usernames from the abs.apple.com website, which is used for surveys. It did not appear that any customer data was compromised during the breach.
The Anonymous collective has attacked a number of groups, including Arizona’s law enforcement over the state passing the controversial SB1070 immigration law, Visa and MasterCard over their attempts to freeze assets owned by the website WikiLeaks, and websites belonging to copyright supporters over their position on that issue.
LulzSec, which disbanded last week, was responsible for attacking websites belonging to PBS, the Senate, the FBI, Sony, and others. The group claims that it breached servers belonging to Apple’s iCloud service used for music and photos that is slated to launch in a few months.
According to several media reports, Apple declined to comment on the alleged security breach.
