said by FBI article :At this time, there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data.
Looks like carefully chosen wording. Having watched a few LEO interviews on TV and elsewhere, a suspect will say "there;s no proof I did it"
Apple issues its own carefully worded statement;
In a statement delivered to AllThings's John Paczkowski by Apple spokesperson Natalie Kerris, the company explained that it wasn’t the source of any UDIDs the FBI may have been stockpiling.
That still leaves Apple itself as a possible source, just not through the FBI;

Yet the stuff is out there.
*poof* it appears magically from no source. |

Well really I hardly expect the FBI to issue a press statement.
"Our bad. You caught us. Yeah we've been hacking into iPhones for years. We promise not to do it again."
Oh and the NSA Bob should also issue a statement.
"Yeah we really do monitor all your electronic communications. Take it Bitches!"
Oh, and while I'm waiting for those two press releases I want my $5 (or whatever the going rate is) from the Tooth Fairy.

Good article and write up..thanks...I think you are getting closer to the truth. Keep calm and get pwn3d
Another troubling aspect of what can be done with a massive pile of Apple UDIDs came from the security researchers at Crowdstrike - known for their recent breakthrough analysis of commercial surveillance software FinSpy (found in malware).
What Crowdstrike suggests is that (potentially) someone in a possession of large amounts of UDIDs would be able to compile malicious targeted code more easily.
The day of the UDID leak, Alex Radocea, senior engineer of Crowdstrike, made a stunning revelation:
(...) with the release of the alleged UDIDs today, if those do prove to be legitimate devices, there are now over one million targets which can be targeted using the FinSpy Ad-Hoc distribution mechanism coupled with an existing or new exploit/jailbreak. » news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57507···go-away/--

Re: 1 million Ipad & Iphone records stolen from feds & posted hmmm I don't think this file is going to be swept under the carpet as there is some interesting stuff in there which does make me wonder what the FBI would be doing with it, as it seems a tad out of their sphere. Again the question is where did this file come from originally, answer that and you have either some really cool info or something complete bust. There isn't much that is middle of the road for this file, its either going to be one extreme or the other.

The data was allegedly taken from FBI agent Christopher Stangl in March. Businessweek aso reported that a Java vulnerability enabled Anonymous to steal the IDs. The information remains unconfirmed and Ed Sullivan, Security Advisor at F-Secure, thinks Anonymous is making up claims that the data came from the FBI, added Businesweek. The FBI released a statement claiming that it found "no evidence" that "any FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data," CNN reported.

A publishing company called Blue Toad says they were the source of the stolen UDIDs.

i prefer the quote here "As soon as we found out we were involved and victimized, we approached the appropriate law enforcement officials".... who are the appropriate officials?
and why was the file named in such a manner? |

As is too often the case, more questions get raised than answered. quote:
A digital publishing company named BlueToad has come forward to take responsibility for the leak of a million iOS unique device identifiers (UDIDs) that were previously attributed to an alleged FBI laptop hack. In a number of interviews published Monday, BlueToad apologized to the public for the incident, explaining that hackers had broken into the company's systems in order to steal the file. The company says, however, that it had "nowhere near" the alleged 12 million UDIDs that hacking group AntiSec claims to have in its possession....
If, and it remains an "if", AntiSec is telling the truth that there are 12 million on their list and that it was indeed hacked from the FBI, it leaves the FBI to explain how their agent got it - particularly if only a fraction of the list actually does include the 1 million hacked from BlueToad. Is the FBI hacking apps developers (or others) to assemble that list? Did the FBI obtain a copy of information hacked by other Federal 3-letter agencies?
