Apple IDs Stolen and Leaked

A group of hackers has release one million Apple identification numbers for iPads, iPhones, and iPod touch's.

To make matters more interesting, they claim to have taken the numbers from an FBI list.

The list supposedly also included "user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc." according to a post made by the hackers.

They claim that there a total of 12,367,232 entrees on the list, and state they are prepared to release them all.

At this point they've only released the ID numbers, and no other information.

For the most part the hackers seem to be out to embarrass the FBI and other government agencies, as well as proving to people that the government is tracking them, but their posting also included some shout outs and demands.

Users of the devices should change their information as soon as possible.
