Antisec, a division of Anonymous, is claiming that the FBI is
tracking some 12 million Apple iOS devices. From an Anonymous poster on Pastebin yesterday:
During the second week of March 2012, a Dell Vostro notebook, used by Supervisor Special Agent Christopher K. Stangl from FBI Regional Cyber Action Team and New York FBI Office Evidence Response Team was breached using the AtomicReferenceArray vulnerability on Java, during the shell session some files were downloaded from his Desktop folder one of them with the name of ”NCFTA_iOS_devices_intel.csv” turned to be a list of 12,367,232 Apple iOS devices including Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc. the personal details fields referring to people appears many times empty leaving the whole list incompleted on many parts. no other file on the same folder makes mention about this list or its purpose.
Antisec has leaked 1,000,001 of the allegedly tracked Apple Unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs). (I suppose they chose the arbitrary number for the "lulz"). To find out if your device is one of them, follow the instructions

Pretty sure it was the Patriot Act that allows this... Though I see no word of that.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it was. Never claimed to be a fan of the Patriot Act. Legislative justification for the alleged tracking is immaterial to the scope of the post, however.
