1 million iOS device IDs leaked after alleged FBI laptop hack
http://j.mp/Rhq4yu (ars technica)
"One million unique device identifiers (UDIDs) from iOS devices have
been posted online by hacking group Antisec, who claimed the UDIDs
came from an FBI-owned laptop. The group published a file containing
the UDIDs-as well as push notification tokens, device names, and
more-on Monday evening, promising that there are plenty more entries
where that came from. Antisec claims the original file contained
roughly 12 million UDID entries-some with very personal data attached,
such as full names, cell numbers, and home addresses."
