Leaked Apple UDIDs were stolen from digital publishing firm

11.09.2012

While some security researchers agree that the privacy risk associated with the leak of Apple UDIDs is low, some claim otherwise.

Some app developers have undisclosed vulnerabilities in their platforms that could allow attackers to extract more user information based on UDIDs, Aldo Cortesi, a security researcher who investigated the privacy risks of UDIDs in the past, said last week. Cortesi called the leak a "privacy catastrophe."
