[HOLY S**T!] 114,000 iPad Owners Exposed

[- v e t -]

Apple has suffered another embarrassment. A security breach has exposed iPad owners including dozens of CEOs, military officials, and top politicians. They—and every other buyer of the cellular-enabled tablet—could be vulnerable to spam marketing and malicious hacking.

The breach, which comes just weeks after an Apple employee lost an iPhone prototype in a bar, exposed the most exclusive email list on the planet, a collection of early-adopter iPad 3G subscribers that includes thousands of A-listers in finance, politics and media, from New York Times Co. CEO Janet Robinson to Diane Sawyer of ABC News to film mogul Harvey Weinstein to Mayor Michael Bloomberg. It even appears that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's information was compromised.

It doesn't stop there. According to the data we were given by the web security group that exploited vulnerabilities on the AT&T network, we believe 114,000 user accounts have been compromised, although it's possible that confidential information about every iPad 3G owner in the U.S. has been exposed. We contacted Apple for comment but have yet to hear back. We also reached out to AT&T for comment. A call to Rahm Emanuel's office at the White House has not been returned.

The source you quoted is Gawker who own Gizmodo which paid for the lost/stolen iPhone 4, they are gonna smear Apple at chance they get now.

AT&T should be the ones having the fingers pointed at.

im not disputing that... just saying Apple should be making it known that this isnt their issue

i have no quarrels with apple, while i have a great deal of issues with AT&T... so the more light they shine on AT&T's problems the better, for me
