If you look at line #'s 3741 through 3845, you will see they all (105) belong to one Abo Mossa. Is Abo Mossa some kind of an iPhone/iPad reseller or is there something else going on?

#72What's an easy way to figure out the UDID of a device (without hooking it up to a Mac to sync)?

This is very disturbing. How did the FBI gain access to all this information? It should be locked up in Apple. From what I see, the NCFTA in "NCFTA_iOS_devices_intel.csv" looks like it stands for the National Cyber-Forensics & Training Alliance, which "functions as a conduit between private industry and law enforcement." ( http://www.ncfta.net/ ) Is Apple willingly sharing personal information with the FBI through th…
Doesn't a popular iOS developer have the same information? UDIDs, APNS tokens (for push notifications), basic demographic information is something a popular social app or game might have. 12 million is a pretty good number, though. edit: our iOS app has over 2 million of these type of device records (though we don't collect any demographic info, so just device ids, apns tokens, device names, device types -- standard…
iOS developers don't have the Apple IDs nor ZIP codes nor addresses (unless they separately ask for them but at least the apple ID is very uncommon)

#75interestingly enough, top ten ios devices names: 42797 'iPhone' 5191 'iPod touch' 3136 '“Administrator”的 iPad' 2202 '“Administrator”的 iPhone' 1534 'Owner’s iPad' 1453 ' iPhone' 1309 'Administrator’s iPad' 1196 'Administrator’s iPhone' 1141 'PdaTX.Net' 1058 'John’s iPad'
If you look at the UDID's for the '“Administrator”的 iPad's or '“Administrator”的 iPhone's, there seems to be an incremental pattern in their first 2-3 digits. Does that mean these devices were purchased/ordered in bulk and hence belong to some reseller? In which case, these must not have been sold to people and thus we don't see change in the Device names maybe? And thus the claim that this came from one or two apps seems a bit infeasible, no?
Re: AntiSec leaks 1,000,001 Apple UDIDs, Device Names/Types
#76Apple 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.
Another more likely possibility would be to identify people who are on the list and compare all their installed apps and search for a common denominator.

there's a bunch of UDID apps (free) that you can download from the App Store.

There are no "Apple IDs" in here. Just Apple device UDIDs.

maybe an enterprise location or school that bought in bulk?

#80I have found my own UDID - I can confirm these are real UDID's - and now I want to know why an FBI agent had my (a brit) UDID on their laptop.
