A hacker group that breached an FBI agent’s laptop accessed the personal data of 12 million Apple iPhone and iPad users. AntiSec, a group linked to the hacking collective Anonymous, supposedly gained access to the unique identifying codes for Apple devices and posted one million of them in a file on the Internet. The news suggests the FBI is tracking Apple users. Graham Cluley of the British security firm Sophos said, “My suspicion is that the hackers were more interested in embarrassing the FBI’s team than endangering innocent users. All the same, hacking into computers is a criminal act – and I would anticipate that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies will be keen to hunt down those responsible.” According to a BBC News report, the FBI said in a statement “there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptopwas compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data.”
