If the data is in clear text, not protected and can simply be parsed I hardly call that a hack.

That almost sounds like what goes on in any company every day. That data should have been behind a firewall.

Sounds totally unresponsible on AT&Ts part.

looks like an inside job by employee/coder at AT&T, purposfully writing vlunerable script for a PR Stunt involving Weev. A Cheap shot aimed at Apple/Google, through another interface.

Just another windows/microsoft type sleazy goings on, who have a neverending viral problem, fixed by buying new computers and viral software, because of a poor operating system, compared to apple who fixes any breech virtually before it occurs for free.

It may involve the israel-chinese affair of trying to boot google-apple because of their reluctance to censor data for pseudo-religious/political-business/competition reasons. And a really sleazy alogical jstification shot at not allowing some of apples new single face computers to be sold in isreal

This is the great nothing, a cheap shot at a bad PR Stunt, taken up in the news media, who does as they are told

Seeing the script helped to make some sense out of what Gawker was reporting, and I had wanted to see the actual request to AT&T to see if there was anything more to it:

Apple must have known how this worked at some level, and there owns some culpability for not objecting to the design. But the initial Gawker reporting was over the top and misleading.

But you’re entitled to your opinion.

That's kind of semantics right? Based on that definition, your browser is performing a "hack" right now to read this web site.

I guess my point is that it doesn't rise to the level of a criminal intrusion, being more akin to an NMAP scan, which is what popular media thinks of with the world "hack".

Just by reading the description of the hack, one can easily visualize in his preferred programming language the way they did the job, just need the pattern of an ICC-ID, the script is pretty uninteresting at this point. It only shows that Gawker will pay anyone, even 4chan tards to discredit Apple in any way (as shown by the title which is false)
