Two blokes who made a mockery of Apple's faith-based Ipad security are getting the book thrown at them in a US court. Daniel Spitler and Andrew Auernheimer took just five days to nick the data of 120,000 Ipad users and pass it on to the Gawker website. They shared the code they used to do it with their mates.
The code mimicked an Ipad so that AT&T's servers were fooled into believing that they were communicating with an Apple fanboi who would never dream of turning over its servers because these were blessed by Steve Jobs.

The pair, who are members of the hacker group Goatse Security, used an account slurper to conduct a brute force attack on AT&T's servers. Where they went wrong was telling people they did it.
