During the second week of March 2012, a Dell Vostro notebook, used by
Supervisor Special Agent Christopher K. Stangl from FBI Regional Cyber Action
Team and New York FBI Office Evidence Response Team was breached using the
AtomicReferenceArray vulnerability on Java, during the shell session some files
were downloaded from his Desktop folder one of them with the name of
"NCFTA_iOS_devices_intel.csv" turned to be a list of 12,367,232 Apple iOS
devices including Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device,
type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone
numbers, addresses, etc.
So they were able to get over 12 million UDID's of which they leaked 1 mil. That's bad enough. But the best part? They got it from an FBI computer they hacked into, in an unencrypted file! Privacy? Yeah right, it's gone. Big Bro is watching us all right. We all know this is happening, yet to have it confirmed is still alarming.
anyone try the website link to see if their phone ID was one of the one million released ?
I donno, something seems odd about this, and then just going to the website and running a query. Call me paranoid, but I dont know if ai want to try that website. For all I know, it will run a query, and return a value to the domain host, thus confirming to someone exactly what they wanted... my identity...
Another link. Initially FBI had no comment, then later denied the attack. Of course, are they going to admit it? Nah.
