Apple Devices Compromised

APPLE SECURITY ALERT ! – 9/4/2012

Fox News is reporting today that more than 1 Million Apple device ID’s were stolen from the FBI.  If that isn’t enough, up to 12 million more may be compromised!

Thanks to the disregard of Apple’s security guidelines by iOS game and app developers, it is possible to determine a user’s identity through an UDID (unique device identification number) alone.

These compromised UDID’s were posted online by hackers.  If YOUR information was compromised, please contact us immediately.

The Apple UDID is assigned to each device on the Apple network.  If you are a user of an Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, we urge you to determine if your DID is compromised.

To further safeguard your devices, seriously consider Action DataTel’s managed security program.  If you’re not sure where your device security stands, give us a call and we can help determine your status.
