A hack attack that can expose users to malware exploits has infected more than 1 million webpages, at least two of which belong to Apple. The SQL injection attacks bombard the websites of legitimate companies with database commands that attempt to add hidden links that lead to malware exploits. While most of the sites that fell prey appear to belong to mom-and-pop operations, two of the infections hit pages Apple uses to promote iTunes podcasts. In all, at least 538,000 pages have been compromised by the same attack. Attacks that bear similar fingerprints but point to different domains, as seen here, here and here – have claimed close to 500,000 more.
