[HIB]AT&T Apologizes To IPad 3G Users For Security Breach

Telecom giant AT&T Inc. (T) apologized to the users of Apple Inc.’s (AAPL) iPad 3G tablet computer, whose e-mail addresses were exposed during a security breach that was disclosed last week. In an e-mail sent to iPad accounts to explain why their email addresses were released, Dorothy Attwood, AT&T’s Senior Vice President, Public Policy and Chief Privacy Officer, said, ” No other information was exposed and the matter has been resolved. We apologize for the incident and any inconvenience it may have caused.” For the security breach, AT&T blamed “computer hackers” who “maliciously exploited” an attempt by the company to speed the process of logging in to its website. AT&T 3G service for other mobile devices was not affected.
