114,000 iPad Users Exposed to Massive Security Breach

Valleywag’s Ryan Tate breaks the news of a massive security breach that would render at least 114,000 iPad 3G subscribers vulnerable to hacking and spam, among them New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer, and apparently even Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff.
