After claiming responsibility for the hacking of Dropbox last week, hacker group The 1775 Sec now claims that they had hacked a database that belongs to Apple. The hackers tweeted that, with assistance from The European Cyber Army, they had successfully breached an Apple database. The leaked information containing passwords, email addresses, and user names was posted to the website pastebin.com.
It’s still unknown whether this hack is true or if these hackers just want the media’s attention.
Apple news website appleinsider.com reports that some of the information in the database is legitimate, but most other information, like passwords, email addresses, and user names, is inaccurate. The site also reports that most of the phone numbers are not in service, making it likely that the data is old or false.
