9to5Mac is reporting that a group calling itself SwaggSec was behind the alleged compromise, and was able to gain access to Foxconn's internal networks thanks to an exploit in an un-patched copy of Internet Explorer that was being used by a Foxconn employee. 9to5Mac was able to confirm the login information worked on more than one Foxconn server, though access has since been cut off.
