Up to 114,000 iPad users (including Michael Bloomberg and Diane Sawyer) unwittingly exposed their email addresses to the public through a security gaffe. Apple products have never been recognized as the CISO's products of choice, but this one looks to be primarily AT&T's goof. Read about it here.
AT&T responds.
Nice FUD from an ex-Microsoftie! Joel, please be honest in your titles. I know it's popular to include Apple in titles of blog posts to get more hits, but this should be beneath you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the CISO should consider Apple products more often, given the stellar security record when compared to products that are generated in Redmond, which seem to be a staple in the CISO's gallery of products.
[Joel: Hi Jeff. Not meant to be FUD. I love Apple. I personally have three Macs in my home. I had a Mac for half of the time I was at Microsoft. I'm trying an iPad/iPhone combo right now and love it. Including Apple in the title wasn't meant to be an indictment. Was just brining to the fore that that egg is on both faces, regardless of who's mistake it was. Have changed it to just include AT&T. Thanks for speaking up.]
