Predictably, FBI denies involvement in UDID scare

If you’ve been anywhere near an electrical outlet today, you already know about the latest privacy scare reportedly involving the hacking group AntiSec publishing a million UDIDs they allegedly lifted from a laptop belonging to an FBI agent. It’s been all over the news and concerned citizens jumped to the rescue.

Well, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, also known under the widely popular FBI moniker, issued a public statement related to the scandal. No, the Bureau absolutely had nothing to do with collecting Apple UDIDs. Its agent wasn’t carrying around a file with a whopping twelve million device identifiers, thanks for your question. And of course they refuted the story and denied any wrongdoing. Sometimes, it’s easier to believe in God than to trust the Government, isn’t it?

Arik Hesseldahl of AllThingsD has this statement from the Bureau:

The FBI is aware of published reports alleging that an FBI laptop was compromised and private data regarding Apple UDIDs was exposed.

At this time there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data.

The FBI Press Office took to Twitter to call the story “totally false” and claim they “never had info in question”.

So, if AntiSec didn’t obtain the file with UDIDs from the FBI, how did the group got hold of it then?

Could the Government be telling the truth in asserting that AntiSec hackers lied about list of device identifiers?

But lets leave that! AntiSec made the whole thing up to get some free press.

The top American law enforcement agency is not creating a list of iPhone, iPod and iPad owners for purposes unknown.

Soooo, what do you think about the FBI’s statement?

    One thing I’d like to touch upon is that fat burning plan fast may be accomplished by the proper diet and exercise. Ones size not simply affects the look, but also the quality of life. Self-esteem, depressive disorder, health risks, along with physical ability are disturbed in excess weight. It is possible to just make everything right and still gain. If this happens, a problem may be the offender. While an excessive amount of food and never enough work out are usually guilty, common medical conditions and widely used prescriptions might greatly amplify size. Kudos for your post here.

    One thing I would really like to touch upon is that fat burning plan fast may be possible by the correct diet and exercise. A person’s size not just affects the look, but also the quality of life. Self-esteem, depression, health risks, plus physical abilities are influenced in extra weight. It is possible to just make everything right whilst still having a gain. Should this happen, a condition may be the perpetrator. While too much food rather than enough physical exercise are usually guilty, common medical conditions and key prescriptions may greatly add to size. Many thanks for your post in this article.

Compared with this, the back of the metal is rather special. Been tested, even in the metal behind carelessly leave scratches can make it through a simple finger friction amazing automatic recovery.

    Predatory slowly remind the NFL, they are an elite team of elite QB Joe Flacco. Baltimore burned a 23-16 victory over Brown. Yes, rookie Brandon – Wyden looks decent, to 320 yards. The Ravens defensive answer, they had to. The offensive, Baltimore was proved to be a force, the President may not be able to keep up. If Joe – Flacco is not connected to Torrey Smith or safety barrier Bor, he handed the ball to Ray Rice. Dean stopped crow it?
