"We want to apologize, announce what happened and set the record straight," said Paul DeHart, chief executive officer of software company BlueToad Inc, told Reuters.
BlueToad hosts more than 5,000 worldwide publications including consumer magazines and business documents, and creates apps for its clients. DeHart said the company experiences about 1,000 unsuccessful break-in attempts a day.
DeHart said his company realized it had been hacked soon after the group "AntiSec," an affiliate of Anonymous, posted a file on the Internet with the identification numbers for what it claimed were 12 million Apple devices on September 3.
Anonymous is one of several loosely affiliated hacking groups that take credit for breaking into government security agencies and major corporations worldwide.
