I spent several hours on the phone talking with apple corporate and an apple store, trying to report fraud. I was met with indifference. They did not seem to care that someone was stealing from them. Fraud costs all of us and they do not care.

Okay, reality check. Would FBI admit? Never. It’s against policy. How did FBI get it? For people that don’t read tech.. It may be a surprise to learn that all major Internet nodes are populated with FBI/NSA sleepers. That means in English that they can stream anything they want. Why would FBI want UUIDs – simple, apple watermarks every app you download (or cross matches your uuid before download). So made-in-the middle(FBI in the middle) would permit modded apps to be loaded by user unknowingly. Why? Recon.

What is depressing is that Anonymous has more credibility than the FBI. I think they are simy lying, and they did have the UUIDs and got them illegally, hence the denial.

That hackers got hold of 1 million Apple UDIDs is telling of Apple’s security incompetence. Maybe Apple drank too much of its kool-aid, believing that Apple devices are secure. Well, not magically secure at all.

An unactivated UDID would be of little value…
