AT&T Breach Exposes 114,000 iPad Owners

A vulnerability in AT&T’s network has exposed 114,000 e-mail addresses of people that own 3G iPads. While the breach isn’t serious, the names on the list is impressive ranging from the White House Chief of Staff to movie studio chairman Harvey Weinstein.

The breach, which comes just weeks after an Apple employee lost an iPhone prototype in a bar, exposed the most exclusive email list on the planet, a collection of early-adopter iPad 3G subscribers that includes thousands of A-listers in finance, politics and media, from New York Times Co. CEO Janet Robinson to Diane Sawyer of ABC News to film mogul Harvey Weinstein to Mayor Michael Bloomberg. It even appears that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's information was compromised.
