It's easy to claim your systems are foolproof when nobody was using them. Now it turns out to have security flaws, just like that "evil" Microsoft  |

I think you're confusing Apple with AT&T... |

I think you meant to suggest that I'm conflating Apple and AT&T
Or might you explain to me how only AT&T is to blame in this fuckup?
Yes their website produced the leak, but only when the Ipad ICC ID was plugged into it and in any case:
Although the security vulnerability was confined to AT&T servers, Apple bears responsibility for ensuring the privacy of its users, who must provide the company with their email addresses to activate their iPads. This is particularly the case given that U.S. iPad 3G customers have no choice in mobile carriers — AT&T has an exclusive lock, at least for now. Given the lock-in and the tight coupling of the iPad with AT&T's cellular data network, Apple has a pronounced responsibility to patrol the network vendors it chooses to align and share customer data with.

No, that's not what I meant.
And to say that Apple is responsible for this is just ridiculous. Sure, they have a "pronounced responsibility", but that goes as far as choosing a reputable network vendor, and AT&T isn't exactly a gang of 'random ass fucknuts'. Apple is not responsible for securing AT&T's network, or Telia Denmark's network, or any other exclusive partner's network. |
