The group claims to have over 12 million IDs, as well as personal**** information such as user names, device names, notification tokens, cell**** phone numbers and addresses.**** ** ** The hackers issued a statement with the following description on how the**** data was obtained:**** ** ** "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."**** ** ** They published the UDID numbers to call attention to suspicions that the FBI **** used the information to track citizens. Much of the personal data has been** ** trimmed, however, with the hackers claiming to have left enough for "a**** significant amount of users" to search for their devices.**** ** ** If AntiSec's account of the breach is accurate, the NCFTA acronym in the**** filename would likely refer to the National Cyber-Forensics & Training**** Alliance, a non-profit corporation of experts from both the private and**** public sector that investigates cyber-crimes.**** ** ** TNW has contacted the FBI for comment. Meanwhile, AntiSec says it will not** ** provide further statements or interviews until a mysterious request is**** fulfilled - to have a photo of a Gawker staff writer dressed in a tutu**** featured on the company's homepage.**** ** ** ==========================================**** (F)AIR USE NOTICE: All original content and/or articles and graphics in this **** message are copyrighted, unless specifically noted otherwise.
