Tech: AT&T trashes on Goatse Security for pointing out unsecured hole
- If not for our firm talking about the exploit to third parties who subsequently notified them, they would have never fixed it. We know what we did was right.
- Goatse Security representative Escher Auernheimer • Responding to a letter from AT&T notifying its users of the iPad security breach the group found last week. AT&T called his group malicious hackers who wanted publicity. (You’d think the name was enough for that, but …) Auernheimer, on the other hand, called AT&T out for taking a number of days to actually inform its users of the breach. Expect some sort of legal action soon. source
