AT&T Security Hole Let Hackers Steal Personal Info From Famous iPad Users

The hack that stole the email addresses of iPad users wasn't even a hack in the truest sense, security experts are saying today. The Goatse Security team that pulled off the feat simply overpowered bad software. The story broke yesterday that a leak in AT&T's security had given away the email addresses of more than 100,000 people, including some of the famous and influential who were first to adopt the tablet—Diane Sawyer, New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, and even White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
