?In January, a number of Apple employees had their Macs compromised following visits to the popular iPhoneDevSDK forum,? Jordan Golson reports for MacRumors.

?Employees from Facebook and likely dozens of other companies were compromised as well,? Golson reports. ?In a blog post today, site owner Ian Sefferman shared some limited details about what happened and what the site is doing about it.?

Golson reports, ?Most notably, the attack was reportedly ended by the hacker on January 30, 2013, meaning the site believes that there is no ongoing threat.?
