Would all of those millions install an application from the FBI knowing it gave them that information? Just because I am ok with one organization having my information doesn't mean that I am ok with any others having the same.
I'm presuming the FBI got the database from an App Developer. Not that the FBI released a popular iOS app.

I checked and didn't find my own iPhone, iPad or my wife's iPhone in the list.

#54Putting a file of user data on a laptop is a fireable offense at at any reputable organization. Sad that the FBI is less careful about user data protection than consumer Internet companies.

#55Apple could probably figure out if this data came from an app developer because I'd bet there's only exactly one app which every single one of those 1,000,001 devices downloaded.
Even if they threw in a few fake rows to mess up the data, they could find the app that has the highest percentage of downloads from that entire data set.

#57This is troubling on so many levels. Why did an FBI agent have a document of user and device info on his desktop and the real question is why are the FBI tracking this information in the first place? Surely this is illegal. By the way, I think AntiSec needs to hire someone to write their releases for them. I struggled at times to make sense of the almost gibberish in their rant-filled sentences and at times some of t…

So? Pretty sure torture and car bombing innocent women and children is also illegal.

While yes, it was generally poor, I got a kick out of the following:

This is the stated reason for the release - to have people ask why an agent has 12m UDID numbers on his laptop. They released 1m out of the 12m UDIDs so that they can guarantee a statistical sample that can be verified, while preserving a bit of privacy. Along with the UDIDs were other columns with an assortment of personal data, although there were a lot of holes.
How large would a 12m line long .csv file be?
Not sure how many bytes per entry, but it would be of the order of gigabytes.
