According to Anonymous’ twitter account, the hacking group used a SQL injection exploit to pull down the usernames and passwords of several accounts from an Apple-run server (abs.apple.com). The passwords appear encrypted so there is little threat that others can abuse this account information. It’s more a blow to the company’s reputation. The hackers implied they could do more if they wanted, but told the company and the public not to worry as they “are busy elsewhere.”
