New York, June 11: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was among the 100 000 iPad users whose email addresses were exposed because of a security vulnerability, but he is shrugging it off and says he doesn’t think it’s a big deal.
The billionaire mayor has spent the last several weeks touting his iPad as a helpful tool for managing a city of 8.4 million people.
The former CEO of the financial information company Bloomberg LP said on Thursday that his email address isn’t hard to figure out.
AT&T Inc acknowledged a security weakness on Wednesday. It said it was notifying all iPad users whose email addresses may have been exposed.
The company said the email addresses were the only information that would have been revealed.
