U.S. publishing service confesses UDID leak
·
The origin of of unknowns stolen and last week published device IDs is clarified: "These are our data," says the CEO of the publishing service BlueToad, Paul DeHart, compared to U.S. media, referring to the list with 1 million iOS devices IDs that unknown persons had allegedly stolen from the computer of an FBI employee. The data had been stolen about two weeks ago from the servers of BlueToad, DeHart contradicts the representation of the unknown hackers from AntiSec, the attribute itself Anonymous.
Earlier, the blogger David Schuetz had identified obvious evidence to the company in the data base and this face its findings. After the company had indeed found a very good agreement between the published data and our own inventory, we had approached law enforcement agencies and take over now public responsibility.
FBI and Apple had already denied that the device IDs may originate from their information assets. In a longer exclusive report from NBC News found no clues as to how the data could be up in the hands of hackers, nor of what BlueToad has used the data actually. The American company is even some apps, among other publishers in digital publishing. UDIDs were long regarded as a practical way to identify individual users, but Apple does not recommend starting already more than a year of this experience.
