FBI agents computer was hacked using the known Java exploit. They found a spreadsheet with 12 million iPhone device IDs, names, addresses, etc. The full LULZ release is here. They posted 1,000,001 UDIDs which is a unique identifier for every iPhone. No one has discovered why these devices made it into an FBI list.

I’m gonna laugh when that list came from Apps that push UDID information to 3rd parties for no reason. ---

a lot of apps use the UDID for reporting/debugging/etc So Apple told companies to stop([http://www.cultofmac.com/160248/what-the-hell-is-a-udid-and-why-is-apple-worried-about-them-feature/](http://www.cultofmac.com/160248/what-the-hell-is-a-udid-and-why-is-apple-worried-about-them-feature/)) that doesn’t change the fact it went on forever ---

If this conversation would have taken place 4 years ago it would have been tinfoil crucifix. However it seems more and more these days that things like this are coming to light with the help of people like hackers. What’s most disturbing is how easy these things blow over now, as if it should just be accepted. ---
