This is just lovely. So apparently several hacker activist groups got into FBI agent Christopher Stangl’s laptop and found:
A list of 12,367,232 Apple iOS devices including Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc.
What makes this story even better is that Mr. Stangl was the guy who posted a video in 2009 imploring Computer Science majors to join the FBI. Makes sense. I guess you need a lot of people to keep tabs on the sheeple’s communications 24/7. Move along folks…nothing to see here. Your government loves you. Now go get on food stamps, watch some football and shut up.
Forbes covered this story and you can read the article here.

Oh, say it ain't so. An armed government agent, sworn to uphold the Constitution and the law, is storing the computer ID's, names, address, etc., of MILLIONS of INNOCENT (and entirely unsuspecting) Americans? I wonder how many of those Americans are the type that think the police and our government only are watching the bad guys? That they only have OUR best interests in mind? HINT: they now watch EVERYONE and that part about the Constitution? Just a ruse (and an inside joke) to make Joe Citizen believe their BS. If YOU or I were caught with that info on OUR computer, how much prison time do you think we'd get?
