iPhoneDevSDK

Mike Isaac has identified the site responsible for the recent spate of hacking exploits against Apple, Facebook, and Twitter:

The site is called iPhonedevSdk, according to sources close to the Facebook hacking investigation. After Facebook employees visited the mobile development site in recent weeks, malicious code injected into the HTML of the site used an exploit in Oracle’s Java plugin to infect employee laptops, as the company divulged last Friday.

Of note: Do not visit this site, as it may continue to be compromised. While it’s potentially risky to publicize the web site, AllThingsD is providing the name to inform readers, mobile developers and organizations interested in mobile development in order to keep them from becoming infected.

The site has a Twitter account, but hasn’t posted since June.
