Drug Charges Against Accused AT&T/iPad Hacker
Summary: Andrew Auernheimer, 24, a member of the group Goatse Security that claimed responsibility for extracting contact information on more than 114,000 iPad customers from AT&T's website, was arrested on drug charges after an FBI search warrant was executed at his Arkansas home. He faced four felony counts of possession of a controlled substance and one misdemeanor possession charge, with drugs including cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, and schedule 2 and 3 pharmaceuticals found during the warrant's execution.
Key Takeaway: The FBI search warrant followed a breach that exposed contact data on more than 114,000 iPad customers, and the source notes AT&T, not Apple, called the feds over a logic flaw in its own application.
