Apple, Facebook hackers hit car and candy companies too

More details have been revealed about the massive cyberattack that hit several tech companies last month. Not only were Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and Twitter hit — but other industries’ computer systems were also hacked, including prominent car manufacturers, U.S. government agencies, and a candy company.

According to The Security Ledger, people familiar with the matter said that hackers infiltrated computer networks by using at least three third-party “watering hole” Web sites, which made it possible for hackers to put malware on those companies’ computers.
