Re: 1 million Apple UDIDs released. What it means for you
#2For how meticulously the App Store is curated, it's amazing so many developers misuse the UDID's to the point that a good amount of information can be found on any one person by using their UDID and comparing to UDID's stored by developers.
And I have to join The Mactivist in asking, just what was the FBI doing with all those UDID's?

#3My devices weren't listed but it was fun to see some creative device names like Thai Pad and Maxi-pad (for iPad names).

#4Apple really ought to give each developer a UUID and then instead of exposing my device's UUID, expose the hash of both IDs combined. That would preserve the book keeping value of device UUIDs while preventing correlation of IDs between parties.

The conclusion of that post is "It's not yet clear if the released push tokens can be used in any manner." so it is just the usual "must post about something happening on the internet even if I have nothing to contribute".

They've already deprecated UUID's so I presume the new solution is/will be more secure.

Yeah, a 5-day-old account spamming his blog "articles" that are nothing more than reposts from MacRumors.
