A hacking group related to Anonymous claims to have stolen a file from an FBI laptop which contained over 12 million unique Apple device indentity numbers.

A post on Pastebin claims that during the second week of March 2012, a Dell Vostro laptop used by FBI Supervisor Special Agent Christopher K. Stangl (seen above in a video calling for computer science graduates to work with the FBI) was breached.

The group claims it found a file on the computer's desktop - labelled NCFTA_iOS_devices_intel.csv - which contained a list with details about over 12 million unique Apple iOS devices including the Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, addresses and mobile phone numbers.

AntiSec, which is an off-shoot of the Anonymous hacking collective, and is claiming responsibility for the breach, published a list of 1,000,001 of these Apple UDIDs, but took the decision to trim the personal data.
