On the Internet, there are almost everyday news of being "hacked", and they are all targeted at some well-known enterprises, government agencies, merchants, etc. Without a doubt, "hacking organizations" seem to have reached a state of rampantness, strolling through cyberspace, committing wrongdoings, and brewing one "hacker game" after another.
According to relevant reports, on July 5, Apple Inc., the world's largest IT company, also had a brush with hackers. The outwardly "beautiful and pretty" Apple had a small vulnerability that was quietly and forcibly exploited by "Anonymous", who successfully hacked a server. This apple, favored by God and bitten once, has today been targeted and "bitten back" by hackers, who then "delightfully" announced their spoils in forums: "27 usernames and login passwords from the Apple website", which is highly disadvantageous for Apple users. Currently, regarding this matter, Apple has not made any statements yet, and the hacked server has been disconnected.
According to the hacker organization's statement on Weibo, the reason why there was an opportunity to exploit was because there were security vulnerabilities in the software used by Apple and other companies, allowing them to successfully intrude and smoothly steal information. On Weibo, they even arrogantly declared, "We're too busy now to tangle with Apple". This is just a warning to Apple, showing off their skills, "purely for entertainment".
The online landscape is unpredictable and unfathomable, full of rights and wrongs that cannot be easily explained. Recently, Apple has also been hit from all sides. Relevant reports show that on July 4, the Writers' Rights Protection Alliance announced its intention to "declare war" on Apple, as there are a large number of pirated Chinese books on Apple's App Store. Not only did Apple fail to stop the infringement, but it also allowed piracy to spread freely, collecting intermediary fees and providing storage space. After multiple communications with Apple about copyright issues were ignored, many writers collected cases and aimed their accusations at Apple, preparing for a "rights protection struggle meeting".
In recent years, from traditional computers to digital entertainment, to iPhones, market demand has remained strong, sales have been booming, prices have consistently been high, shaping a perfect and high-end image that has "captured" millions of consumers in China, and sales profits have continued to rise. As the saying goes, tall trees attract the wind; the "sweet and fragrant" Apple has been eyed by many who want to take a bite. This time, becoming a "target" for hackers to play around with raises questions. There's no smoke without fire; this is definitely a long-planned spy war, a "Plants vs Zombies" game played by hackers against Apple.
The Apple incident also highlights a point: within the IDC industry, servers still have many security vulnerabilities, and potential dangers always exist. A famous national IDC expert from China Nuoweb (www.nuo.cn) stated that vulnerabilities aren't just present in servers, but also include enterprise website codes, spaces, domains, etc., all of which are common targets for hackers. Enterprises need to promptly fix vulnerabilities and update anti-attack programs to address problems effectively, preventing their websites from "catching a cold" and avoiding incidents where data is lost or permissions are altered. In the process of informatization construction, when choosing an IDC service provider, it's important to evaluate professionalism, stability, scalability, high configuration, and security.
Recently, on the Internet, topics about cloud computing and cloud security have been very popular. Since the "cloud" was born on the Internet, it has woven many "cloud dreams" for netizens. The network needs this cloud, and netizens also value this cloud. The "cloud security solution" seems to bring a ray of sunshine to the cloudy network space. However, many netizens are still unclear about how exactly such security measures are implemented.
According to related reports from the U.S., hacker viruses continue to mutate, and the possibility of hackers causing network paralysis exists. In the future, antivirus software will be unable to handle the ever-changing malicious viruses. Simply creating a local hard drive virus library will not be able to control the rampant virus seeds. Only by relying on the vast Internet and adopting a cloud-based solution can we create a real-time, instant-use, analysis, and processing virus database, achieving "meeting force with force and water with earth", retrieving the corresponding virus governance plan from the cloud in a timely manner to eliminate the threat. The entire Internet becomes an "antivirus software", creating a "patchwork coat" for viruses, laying the foundation for Internet security.
For the Apple incident, some are happy, while others worry. Who will be the next victim in the next round of "black stories"?
