Microsoft says hackers got into a small number of its computers
SEATTLE, Feb. 23 () -- Microsoft says it fought off a recent attempt by computer hackers to break through its firewalls and get into the U.S. company's computer systems.Microsoft said in a written statement a small number of its computers had been infiltrated but there was no evidence any customer data had been compromised, The Seattle Times reported Saturday.The cyberattack came in the wake of a similar move against Facebook and used similar techniques, the newspaper said. The door was opened when Facebook employees visited an outside developer's website,[url=http://www.isabelmarantsneakersbootss.com/]isabel marant sneakers[/url], which had been compromised.The website hosted a so-called exploit that allowed a malware to infect the Facebook employees' laptops. Those computers have since been cleansed and patched.Facebook traced the intrusion to China, the BBC said.Beijing has denied a recent report by a U.S. security firm accused a unit of China's military of directing the government's involvement in industrial espionage.
