Apple CEO Tim Cook asked Bloomberg BusinessWeek to retract a story posted earlier this month that stated Apple had used computers that were hacked by the Chinese military.
Cook made his demand during an interview with Buzzfeed News. Apple and Amazon, which also had been victimized by China Bloomberg reported, have previously denied being targeted, but until now neither had asked for the story to be pulled.
Bloomberg has stood by its story and published a follow up article containing additional claims of evidence.
