Apple says it did not provide data to FBI

Apple on Wednesday responded to a weird story earlier this week that UDID information was stolen by hackers from an FBI computer. Apple contacted The Loop with some additional information.

“The FBI has not requested this information from Apple, nor have we provided it to the FBI or any organization,” said Apple spokesperson, Natalie Kerris. “Additionally, with iOS 6 we introduced a new set of APIs meant to replace the use of the UDID and will soon be banning the use of UDID.”

Hacker group Antisec released 1 million unique identifiers, but in a statement released on Tuesday the FBI said “there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised.”
