"Hacking group AntiSec has published 1 million Apple unique identifiers online early this morning from a trove of 12 million that it allegedly stole from an FBI agent's laptop.

An unidentified user posted a document to Pastebin on Monday that included links to around a million Apple unique device identifiers (UDIDs). The poster said the release was intended to highlight the FBI's alleged tracking of Apple customers, ZDNet writes...".* Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola (host of TYT University and Common Room) break it down on The Young Turks.

Privacy? Why should privacy ever matter when "security" comes first!!!

1. This has been debunked since Monday.

After a hacking group claimed it had obtained millions of unique identifiers for Apple devices from an FBI laptop, Apple itself has issued a statement saying it did not provide any UDIDs to the FBI.

"The FBI has not requested this information from Apple, nor have we provided it to the FBI or any organization," spokesperson Natalie Kerris said to All Things D. "Additionally, with iOS 6 we introduced a new set of APIs meant to replace the use of UDID and will soon be banning the use of UDID."

The statement came after the hacking group AntiSec posted the unique device identifiers of 1 million iPhones and iPads this week. AntiSec claimed the unique 40-character UDIDs were stolen from an FBI laptop, and that it had a total of nearly 12.4 million UDIDs

But the FBI issued its own statement refuting those claims, stating AntiSec's allegations were false. The bureau also distanced itself from the gathering of private information such as UDIDs, saying there is no evidence tying the agency to the purported UDID leak.

"The FBI is aware of published reports alleging that an FBI laptop was compromised and private data regarding Apple UDIDs was exposed," the statement read. "At this time there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data."

3. Even the hackers involved are denying the FBI/Laptop story.

The latest is that the info likely came from ad links in some 'free' app.

See ---> Google.

4. But that isn't who you cited.

You cited two sources whose "Hey, it wasn't me!" would be suspect at first glance ( hell, before first glance. It's exactly what you would expect). And then your response is "hey dumbass...google it"...paraphrased of course.

6. 'Anonymous' said FBI, because it's all about them.

A small Florida publishing company says the million-record database of Apple gadget identifiers released last week by the hacker group Anonymous was stolen from its servers two weeks ago. The admission, delivered by the company’s CEO exclusively to NBC News, contradicts Anonymous' claim that the hacker group stole the data from an FBI agent's laptop in March.
