Yet another AT&T fail.

...although I'm gonna bet that Goatse wished they hadn't shared that information to 3rd party sites. AT&T will probably drop the legal hammer of doom soon.

Wait... so they're posing as a security firm and exploited a system and shared it with third-parties? Sounds like cyber crime to me or am I completely misreading this?

Omg, worst name for a group ever.

Think this will have any effect on iProduct sales? Think anybody will even realize what happened? I vote no.

Wow.. Steve Jobs got his other foot shot.. poor bastard..

So all they got was an email address from this.

They wrote a script to speed the guessing of the ICC-ID's and to make an auto attempt at getting an email address back from the server. Before the exploit was fixed they 114,000 "email addresses"

No names. No other numbers. Just email addresses. Then they shared the list of email addresses that they had obtained illegally with "others"? So, they should be looking at some serious jail time here if only just for the new "anti-spam" laws that have been passed.

They should include this in the fine print when idiots sign up for their sky high priced plans.

Yah that's what went through my head initially, if they're a security firm why in the world would they turn around and exploit the security flaw they themselves had discovered. Its like me going into a store through a back door that should have been locked, stealing everything in the store, then later telling the owner "oh by the way I stole things from you".

Epic Win.

And yet you found a way to turn this into an advert for the iPad, by quoting in the last paragraph a few heavy names from the so called "A-list".

If you got hacked, you're in good company, you're part of an elite group of individuals, you're on the "A-list", no need to be angry at AT&T or Apple for anything. This is a "good" thing. You've just been promoted from a B-grade parasite to an A-grade individual.

Gotta love the internet.

 

[iokau]

Oh 4chan, you so crazy.

 

[dEAne]

This things we never want to happen.

 

[TomD_1]

The name must be a typo, or a joke or something? Calling your company Goatse Security is just asking for trouble

 

[CChick]

This is what those "I got Apple stuff Im above the others" morons deserves

 

[thejerk]

[tommysch]
