Earlier today, hackers at AntiSec claimed that it had got its hands on a database containing around 12 million UDID numbers from iPads and iPhones from an FBI employee-owned computer, a breach my colleague Sarah Perez described the meaning behind and possible reifications of in a post earlier today. Now, however, the FBI has issued a statement to AllThingsD that refutes the claim. "The FBI is aware of published reports alleging that an FBI laptop was compromised and private data regarding Apple UDIDs was exposed," reads the quote from AllThingsD. "At this time there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data."
