Apple's worst security breach: 114, 000 iPad owners exposed

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

"Apple has suffered another embarrassment. A security breach has exposed iPad owners including dozens of CEOs, military 
officials, and top politicians.
They—and every other buyer of the cellular-enabled tablet—could be vulnerable to spam marketing and malicious hacking.

The breach, which comes just weeks after an Apple employee lost an iPhone prototype in a bar,
exposed the most exclusive email list on the planet, a collection of early-adopter iPad 3G subscribers that includes 
thousands of A-listers in finance,
politics and media, from New York Times Co. CEO Janet Robinson to Diane Sawyer of ABC News to film mogul Harvey 
Weinstein
to Mayor Michael Bloomberg. It even appears that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's information was compromised."
