Anonymous hacks FBI laptop and finds personal data from millions of Apple devices

[Hamish]

The Register article notes that the info probably didn't come from Apple but from a developer(s).

But the main question is what is the FBI doing with them?

 

[Danthus]

Apple develop apps.

I havent read all the way, but whats the big deal about leaking 2 UUID's and the device name? Is there a tool you can use to grab info from these ID's, is that it?

Because there are corresponding personal details associated with some of the UUIDs

Why on Earth does the FBI have a laptop full of Apple UDIDs?

I do love the Defcon vidoes, they are always very interesting and amusing. The last one I watched was about a guy who had his computer robbed, that was a funny

I remember that video it was stolen mac and then it used to to try and chat up the ladys on the internet

 

[-Ad-]

I should imagine Tesco/Dunnhumby/Sainsburys/LMG are the same in the UK

Yup.

Heard plenty of stories from my other half who works for the first company grouping there

If you're going to cheat on you partner, then don't go and buy flowers/chocolates/protection using your Clubcard/Nectar, especially if your partner works for said company.

Also doing such things will affect your clubcard rewards. Wouldn't it be interesting to get Durex vouchers when you're a happy family unit with 2.4 kids

[Uncle Petey]

so let me get this right,

there are peeps who really believe that Facebook/Apple/Microsoft etc are not in bed with the government?

you form one of the biggest databases known to man, and the CIA/FBI/MI6 are not going to be interested right?

yeah sure.

WAKE UP

This.

I always find it odd people get in a hissy fit over government information gathering but they are always happy to hand over lots of information to private company's purely in it for profit.

One of those you make a choice to do.

Nevermind, false alarm.

True, although one you chose with your money and one you chose with your vote.

I would want to investigate that.

 

[rexehuk]

Curious as to why the FBI have overseas details too? Surely there is some privacy issues there over waters...

US citizens... fine, they are there in the US and are an intelligence agency. But UK citizens is a bit odd.

I would get in touch with the ICO...

Is it just your UDID or does it have any personal details as some of them have names, addresses etc.
