Apple acknowledges iCloud attack, says servers are not affected


Following reports yesterday that China was secretly collecting data from iCloud users, Apple has confirmed to Dow Jones that it is aware of network attacks on its service. The iPhone maker said it knows about "intermittent organized network attacks" on people who are trying to access iCloud.com, although the company failed to mention China specifically in the statement to Dow Jones. Apple did say these attacks have not affected its servers, and added that mobile and desktop users (who running the latest version of OS X) should not be worried -- it appears this issue is limited to the iCloud website. We're reaching out to Apple for comment and will keep you in the loop should any more details emerge soon.
