AT&T Reportedly Bungles Handling of Private Data, Again
This hasn't been AT&T's month. First, security researchers found a loophole in the company's Web site that could be used to reveal e-mail addresses for tens of thousands of Apple iPad customers. Now, some users are reporting that when they log in to their AT&T accounts to pre-order the iPhone 4 they are apparently given access to the account information of other people.
"This is how it happens: A customer tries to log into their AT&T account to order a new iPhone 4 upgrade. Despite entering their username and password, the AT&T system would take them to another user account," reported gadget blog Gizmodo, which broke the news.
Some users said when they refreshed the Web page with the wrong account information, the site returned the correct account information.
