Social networking giant Facebook has confirmed that it has been the victim of an attack by hackers
From Silicon Republic:
| It says several of its engineers’ computers were hacked using a zero-day Java attack, but has ruled out the likelihood that any of its 1bn users’ data has been compromised.
The attack occurred when a number of employees visited a mobile developer website that was compromised and malware was installed on their laptops. Facebook said that there is no evidence to suggest user data was compromised. |
