No more nuclear posturing we're just a bit behind in the cyber war that's getting loud enough for us to hear. All the players know they can clean each others clock with bombs yanking the economy out from under the other is the preferred tactic.
I wonder if this hacking (of developer machines within Apple) has anything to do with the non-appearance thus far of the 10.8.3 update. Perhaps Apple is making sure that the code hasn't been compromised.
According to an ArsTechnica article the iPhoneDevSDK website may have been infecting visitors for awhile. They believe the hacker himself pulled the exploit on or about Jan. 31st. If at all accurate then whoever was responsible could have been culling data for from compromised systems for some time. FWIW Facebook says they patched their systems to prevent the exploit from being used on Feb. 1st.
The most amazing part of the story is the site administrator says he learned of the breach of his site only after reading an article from AllThingsD. No one from Facebook, Apple or any of the other affected companies had contacted him. That's unbelievable.
Idiotic statement. You do realize that Russia could turn the US into a "glassed parking lot" in about an hour, if the US sent in their drones. Ever heard of nuclear weapons?
What does Russia have to do with China? Who's stupid enough to launch nuclear weapons because of a drone attack in a third-party country? Ever heard of MAD? Come on.

Good job covering your tracks China.
