Network security breach reveals iPad 3G users' personal data
Share:
As if to confirm that you always sacrifice privacy for being connected, AT&T announced Wednesday that there has been a network security breach exposing some iPad 3G users' email addresses. AT&T said in a statement that the company apologizes and will inform each and everyone who has been affected.
Apple has been mum on the issue, but Mark Siegel, AT&T spokesman, emailed a statement that they first learned about the problem on Monday and by Tuesday the faulty feature has been turned off.

Before all the haters of AT&T start posting crap, keep in mind that if the iPad went to a different carrier, hackers would have found a way to break through like they did on AT&T. Just something to keep in mind. This wasn't specifically a networking error. It was a security one.
