Not really. If you read past the paragraph where it says - "DailyTech reports" (with the news papers headline - "
AT&T's Gaping Hole Exposes 114,000 iPad 3G Buyers' Email Addresses") you read on the next paragraph, in this post, that it was AT&Ts fault.
"Apparently AT&T left a public interface to their database unsecured."
That many e-mail addresses exposed is news, no matter the who or the what of it.
What is really bad is that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is using an unsecured communication device.
I do, and you probably do not, know the incredible stupidity of that.
