An Apple corporate server and Fox News’ Twitter account were both reportedly hacked over the 4th of July weekend, the latest in a series of high profile hacking incidents.

The hacker group “Anonymous” took credit for the attempt against Apple, while a group known as “The Script Kiddies” took credit for the hack on Fox News’ Twitter account.

The Script Kiddies, while in possession of Fox News’ Twitter account, repeatedly posted false statements on the 4th of July claiming that President Barack Obama had been assassinated.

“The President is Dead. A sad 4th of July, indeed. President Barack Obama is dead,” read the first in a series of posts.

Fox News removed the posts after discovering the hack and requested a full investigation from Twitter regarding the incident.

The Secret Service has also launched an investigation into the incident as multiple hacks purported to report the President’s assassination.

The Script Kiddies, a previously unknown group, claimed to be “ready to aid” Anonymous in their hacking efforts as part of the messages they posted through Fox News’ Twitter account.

Anonymous, meanwhile, took credit for what they claimed to be a hack into an Apple corporate server used for surveys.

The group posted data that they claim to be the usernames and passwords of several Apple administrators through a link attached to their Twitter account—AnonymousIRC.

The data was also accompanied by a claim that more information is being withheld that may be linked to Apple’s new upcoming service iCloud.

“Some weeks ago, we smashed into the iCloud with our heavy artillery Lulz Cannons and decided to switch to ninja mode,” the claim read. “We grabbed all their source code and database passwords, which we proceeded to shift silently back to our storage deck.”

If the claim is true and the group releases the information, it could greatly impede consumer confidence in Apple’s newest service and affect confidence in the security of cloud based online storage throughout the industry.

Apple has yet to comment on the incident.

The company just received praise from a report by the Tomkin Group this Tuesday, whose survey of recent customers that purchased computers ranked Apple top among computer makers in customer satisfaction and service.

The two incidents come in the wake of the disbanding of Lulz Security, or Lulz Sec, a hacker group responsible for a string of high profile hacking incidents over a roughly two month period.

The group claimed responsibility for attacks on Sony’s Playstation Network, the FBI, police departments in Arizona, PBS, AT&T and AOL.

Lulz Sec disbanded following the arrest of alleged member 19-year-old Ryan Cleary in the United Kingdom following an investigation of hacking attempts made on the Serious Organized Crime Agency.

The group stated it was not disbanding in response to the arrest and denied any claims that Cleary was a member of the group.

While Lulz Sec may have disbanded, the campaign that it helped shape in recent months- the Anti Security, or Anti Sec- movement seems poised to continue through groups like Anonymous and The Script Kiddies.

The Anti Sec movement is a directed attack by hackers on companies and government agencies to leak information online to sites such as Wikileaks or general information dumping sites.

“Top priority is to steal and leak any classified government information, including email spools and documentation,” states the founding document of the Anti Sec movement on Pastebin.com. “Prime targets are banks and other high-ranking establishments.”

Users can then have their Spark “feed” display content from all the search terms they have saved or filter it by specific terms, allowing access to content they can view and share on Google+.

Google has not announced any details on future features that they will be rolling out for the service, though speculation has sprung up around the possibility of a gaming feature.

Engadget reported on a line of code they discovered in the current Google+ coding that reads “have sent you Game Invites and more from Google+ Games” which may signal the intent of the company to create a gaming feature for the service.
