"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, this Google search shows."
