MANHATTAN — A security breach has exposed the data of 114,000 high-profile iPad owners, including the mayor of New York City.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, New York Times Company CEO Janet Robinson, ABC correspondent Diane Sawyer, and were all victims of AT&T's network security flaw, according to the New York Post.
Bloomberg told the Daily News he wasn't concerned about the breach.
“if you want to know my email address, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out, ok?,” he told the paper Thursday.
"We live in a world where information is available all over the place and there’s going to be security breaches every day all over the world. That’s what happens when you have information,” Bloomberg added.
The carrier's email addresses were exposed when a group of hackers called Goatse Security exploited AT&T, the iPad's exclusive network provider, Gawker reported.
AT&T officials apologized and promised to inform any customers that might have been affected by the breach, the company said after they first learned of the problem Monday.
"This issue was escalated to the highest levels of the company and was corrected by Tuesday; and we have essentially turned off the feature that provided the email addresses," spokesman Mark Siegel said in an e-mail statement to Fox News.
The breach is relatively harmless, John Herrman of Gismodo told Newser Thursday.
However, it's an embarrassment to Apple, which has already sold more than 2 million iPads since it launched in April.
"To play down this leak due to the relatively harmless of the exposed data is to miss the point," Herrman said. "A thing that customers had assumed to be private, and entrusted to AT&T, was inadvertently made public."
The iPad helped Apple overtake Microsoft in May as the world's most valuable technology company.
