AT&T’s iPad Cover Up – Update

July 27th, 2010

AT&TGawker has the lowdown on “AT&T’s iPad Cover Up.”

After security research group Goatse Security obtained network identification numbers and email addresses for at least 114,000 iPad customers, our colleagues at Gizmodo asked AT&T chief security officer Ed Amoroso just how many accounts were affected in total. After all, while Goatse Security provided Gawker with information on 114,000 customers, the group also shared its script with third parties prior to contacting AT&T, as we reported at the time, meaning every iPad 3G user may have been exposed. Amoroso told Gizmodo that AT&T was “doing the forensics as we speak” and until they were done, there’s “no way of validating the number of addresses.” Amoroso promised to “shed some more light” on the situation once AT&T’s investigation was complete.
