Some of Apple Inc’s employees were infected on Tuesday. Some Apple workers computers were infected when they visited a website for software developers by malware. It was the same software that exploited a flaw in a version of Java that was used against Facebook. Hundreds of companies including defense contractors were infected by the malware. Investigations are ongoing and it is not clear when the attacks started or the extent to which the hackers had succeeded in stealing data. The malware was also distributed through a site for iPhone developers.
