Microsoft and Google have zero incidents only for very large values of zero. Google "gmail account hacked" or "Xbox live account hacked" or "hotmail account hacked".
In the last case, the top links are to Microsoft's FAQ pages.
- esolyt 14y agoIrrelevant because those accounts are hacked by someone who acquired the password of the actual user by a keylogger etc. They were not exploiting flaws related to server side. In iCloud's case, there is nothing the user could have done to prevent this attack.
- Tloewald 14y agoNor we're they in this case -- they were exploiting server side features of Amazon ( working as intended ) and Apple's tech support policies ( working as intended ). If anything this is a policy failure. Not having any customer support worth a damn is a different kind of policy failure. (For example.)
- itsprofitbaron 14y agoJust because a company can have their FAQ pages SEO'd to the top of the SERPS doesn't mean their services haven't been hacked. Most people who get hacked hardly ever report it, they just want their account(s) back.
- Tloewald 14y agoI think you missed my point. If recovering a hacked account is an FAQ then presumably some accounts get hacked. Just maybe?
