Apparently it targeted only IPad's based upon the ICC-IDs of the devices. So in essence, the target was through AT&T focused on IPads, and geared towards capturing the email information of A-Listers who would be getting the device sooner than the general public.
Wouldn't be surprised if it were an inside job. Jay Dale I.T.

It appears to be an AT&T breach, but as you know it specifically effects the iPad. But, I beleive Apple fails here as well for he provider that they chose to host thier equipment and services with. -- ME2 On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 10:24 AM, Rod Trent <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: iPad or AT&T?
