FBI Denies It Held iPhone UDIDs Stolen By AntiSec

judgecorp writes "The FBI has denied the UDID codes released yesterday came from an agent's laptop, as claimed by the AntiSec hacker group. The FBI says it does not hold such data, and the attack never happened. However, the agent named by AntiSec is real, and some of the published UDID codes have been found to be genuine. So where did they come from?"

    On the other hand, finding the names of agents is pretty easy, and dropping one makes for a much juicier story than "AntiSec managed to get a UDID-sniffing trojan into the app store".

    In the absence of any further evidence, I must assume that everybody's lying. The real story is that the UDIDs were harvested wirelessly using petahertz radio scanners mounted on the invisible black helicopters flown by the lizard aliens who, due to their shared ancestry with birds, make excellent pilots, even in aircraft that are based on Martian stealth technology (which is why we're giving the Martians our nuclear-powered cars now).

    The FBI are lying about it not being theirs and ANON are lying it about it being theirs.

    Is this some sort of Schroedinger's laptop?

      I do not know how.. I do not know when... I do not even know why.. but I will find and excuse to use the phrase 'Schroedinger's Laptop' someday.

      I had one of those about 12 years ago - a Dell Inspiron 3800. At any given moment you wouldn't know whether it was going to work or not until you tried to turn it on.

    > Do people actually store addresses and zipcodes on their phones?

    No grandpa, no one would ever have addresses and zip codes in a phone! That wouldn't make a lick of sense!

    on average random ACs have a better rate of telling the truth than the FBI. (this post included?)
