AT & T Apologizes For Hacking Incident

Victims of hacker attack suffered by AT & T last week, that the unfortunate owners iPad which was stolen email address through a flaw in a script of the company, at this time received an email directly from U.S. carriers.

In the message, in addition to apologizing for the incident, AT & T provides some details on this story:The Hackers have created a software capable of generating random numbers similar to the serial numbers of SIM AT & T iPad - called integrated circuit card identification (ICC-ID) - and have questioned a page on the site of AT & T. When an ICC-ID generated corresponding to an original ICC-ID, the page log-in appeared to the email address associated ICC-ID.

So to avoid the worst AT & T was forced to remove the offending scriptAnd now you want to authenticate users on the site of the carriers are required to also enter your e-mail. The email ends then ensuring that no data was stolen outside email addresses: No password, no message content, no other personal and private.

The carrier is working with law enforcement to trace the attackers who carried out the attack to bring them to justice.

Although it is questionable whether AT & T has never proven the safety of the script that has proved so weak with an attack Brute Force, Is there anyway to say that the reaction of the company was more than good: In addition of course to have proceeded to close the loophole, has assumed its responsibilities and has contacted its users directly, writing and telling them how things were.
