Goatse Security has been able to grab around 114,000 personal email addresses of iPad buyers from a major telecoms providers website. Some of the email address that have been leaked include White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, New York City Mayer Michael Bloomberg, Diane Sawyer of ABC News, and many CEOs, CFO, and CTO’s.
Some of the email addresses exposed even belonged to DARPA reesarchers and high-ranking military officials. Each iPad comes with an ICC-ID or an “integrated circuit card identifier.” The subscriber’s SIM card and ICC-ID are linked to uniquely identify them. Normally this data would not be publicly accessible.
