Protests against Apple and Foxconn due to furor over reports about working conditions have gone digital.
A group known as SwaggSec has successfully hacked computers at Foxconn, a multi-national electronics manufacturer, and posted the stolen data to The Pirate Bay website. The data contains usernames and passwords for company employees, and the blog 9to5Mac claimed to have verified the logins worked on more than one Foxconn server before their access was shut down.
News of the hack comes as protesters paid a visit today to Apple stores around the world to deliver petitions demanding the improvement of working conditions at factories run by Apple suppliers in China and other countries.
According to reports, SwaggSec compromised the company by taking advantage of an Internet Explorer vulnerability. The group’s motives seem to be as much about anarchy as protesting working conditions as they are about anarchy, and the group contends it as a collection of greyhats more than hacktivists.
