Social networking giant Facebook has confirmed that it has been the victim of an attack by hackers



From Silicon Republic:

It says several of its engineers’ computers were hacked using a zero-day Java attack, but has ruled out the likelihood that any of its 1bn users’ data has been compromised.

The attack occurred when a number of employees visited a mobile developer website that was compromised and malware was installed on their laptops.

Facebook said that there is no evidence to suggest user data was compromised.
