The hacker group Antisec claimed it broke into NY FBI agent Christopher Stangl’s  laptop and found the unique ID numbers of 12 million Apple devices. It published one million of the stolen IDs on the Internet. The FBI released a statement yesterday saying the agency had “no evidence” that it ever possessed information that was allegedly contained in the computer belonging Agent Christopher Stangl.

The group said that the information included the cellphone numbers, addresses and names of users. Antisec said making the information publicly available will allow people to realize the FBI “is using your device info for a tracking people project or some sh—t.”
