This is exactly what happened to weev. He found that information that was intended to be private was made publicly available by AT&T.
Weev went to prison for typing in URLs that he should not have. They were criminal URLs, just loke thess.
- mikeyouse 5y agoKind of... The AT&T data wasn't public, Weev & Co. had to build a script to generate plausible ICCIDs which they then 'challenged' the AT&T servers with the URL containing the ICCID. If it was a valid iPad ICCID and registered with AT&T, the server would reply with the email address registered to it. That seems materially different to just F12ing a website and seeing plaintext Social Security numbers.
