Back in June of 2010 hackers infiltrated AT&T servers and obtained the e-mail addresses and ICC-IDs for more than 120,000 iPad owners -- many of them high level politicians or military personnel. The AT&T website flaw responsible was found by a group calling itself Goatse Security, who you'll recall <a href="http://security.goatse.fr/a-response-to-atts-letter">fired a few shots at AT&T</a> at the time. claiming the carrier didn't disclose the vulnerability in a suitable period of time. Today Federal prosecutors in New Jersey <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2011/01/18/state/n065705S48.DTL&tsp=1">announced the arrest</a> of two individuals: Daniel Spitler of San Francisco and Andrew Auernheimer of Fayettevile. Both men face charges of fraud and conspiracy to access a computer without authorization.
