Hackers try to buy access data from Apple employees

Information is power and whoever has the information has power. It sounds like I have heard this in a movie but nothing is further from the truth. The servers where the present and future information of large companies is stored have been and will be the target of attempted attacks by hackers to later sell them to the highest bidder. The computer security of companies is the main basis of their operation.

If you do not have a secure system, it can happen as it happened to El Corte Inglés last week in which some hackers accessed their servers and stole all financial information of the company since 2011. Hackers claimed that it was too easy to access the servers and did not find any problems that they could not solve quickly.

Several hackers arrive for a time trying to get the username and password of the company's newest employees Headquartered in Ireland, Apple's European base and serving the entire continent. Apparently, according to a former employee of the company, workers receive in their emails proposals so that in exchange for 20.000 euros, they provide their access data at Apple.

Apple is obviously aware of this to try to prevent any of your employees from falling into temptation, has launched a plan called "Grow Your Own", a plan that would try to encourage internal promotion of employees, although for sure no one knows what it consists of and why this plan has been called that.

If hackers had a chance to get inside Apple's servers they could give a with treasure that would be sold to the highest bidder, where the present and future plans of the company are contradicted, as well as all the projects in which it is currently working. Some of the employees who work from their own homes from time to time encounter many problems when it comes to being able to access directly, which seems to indicate that these hackers could have it very difficult to access if they finally get what they are looking for.
