Microsoft hacked, just like Apple and Facebook

Friday night, Microsoft announced via his blog that safety was also the victim of a cyber attack, comparing his situation with Facebook and Apple about recent security breaches.

"During our investigation, we found a small number of computers, including those in our" Mac business unit ", which have been infected by malware using techniques similar to those documented by other organizations" writes Matt Thomlinson, general manager of computer security.

Microsoft says that no data of these clients have been infected

This infiltration is added to the series of attacks experienced by large companies on the web, starting with the announcement of Twitter in early February, data of more than 250,000 users has been hacked.

Sources said that many other companies could have been infected with malware "malware-spreading", and perhaps many others will disclose similar cases of piracy in the coming weeks.
