[HIB]Hackers fire back at AT&T, say all iPads at risk to Safari hole

Disgruntled at having been characterized as 'malicious' by AT&T, the group of hackers who exploited a hole in the wireless operator's website last week have fired back by accusing both AT&T and Apple of acting irresponsibly in regard to iPad security.In a blog post Monday, Goatse Security attested that its manipulation of an AT&T web server that spit out the email addresses of over 114,000 iPad 3G subscribers -- including many top government and corporate officials -- was done as a public service, objecting allegations in AT&T's apology to customers that it acted "maliciously" and went to "great efforts" to perform the hack."AT&T had plenty of time to inform the public before our disclosure. It was not done," the group said. "If not for our firm talking about the exploit to third parties who subsequently notified them, they would have never fixed it and it would likely be exploited by […] some other criminal organization or government."
