Apple is the new target for hackers

On Tuesday, Apple announced that some Macintosh computers used by its employees had been infected by hackers recently. There is no evidence that hackers have done with some data and Apple has reportedly been working on a software tool whose function is to identify and repair infected Macintosh computers, which would be completed at this time. Infected systems within Apple have been isolated and removed from the company's internal network.

An unknown group of hackers managed to exploit a bug in the Java plugin used in web browsers. A similar malware was used to attack Facebook earlier, and the recent attack he suffered Apple also suffered other companies.

For a long time it was thought that Apple computers were the safest in the industry, but not the operating system was impenetrable, but there was a lack of attention from hackers to the platform, as most teams have always made use of Windows, the operating system in the world with more vulnerabilities. Maybe now that Apple is achieving greater market share hackers have decided to change their objectives.

What do you think? Did difficult time ahead for Apple?
