NBC News Reveals Actual Source of Apple Device IDs Leaked by Anonymous Last Week

NBC News Reveals Actual Source of Apple Device IDs Leaked by Anonymous Last Week:
Kerry Sanders and Bob Sullivan, reporting for NBC News:

Paul DeHart, CEO of the Blue Toad publishing company, told NBC
News that technicians at his firm downloaded the data released by
Anonymous and compared it to the company’s own database. The
analysis found a 98 percent correlation between the two datasets.

“That’s 100 percent confidence level, it’s our data,” DeHart said.
“As soon as we found out we were involved and victimized, we
approached the appropriate law enforcement officials, and we began
to take steps to come forward, clear the record and take
responsibility for this.” […]

“I had no idea the impact this would ultimately cause,” DeHart
continued. “We’re pretty apologetic to the people who relied on us
to keep this information secure.”

So the FBI angle was just bullshit to garner attention, apparently.
