The email addresses were published on a web site, and among the victims we can find the Chief of Staff of the White House, Rahm Emaunel and the mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg.

A security breach allowed hackers to find out the email addresses of 114.000 users of iPad tablet, which they published on the internet.

Among the victims we can find dozens of politicians, military men, and CEO executives.

The hackers took the name of Goatse Security and published their initiative sending the list of email addresses to journalists from gawker.com. When they were aware of this, the mobile company AT&T, which offers 3G services for Ipad, blocked the access to the web site where the email addresses were published.

They took this measure because AT&T is to blame because of this security breach and not Apple.
