THE email addresses of more than 114,000 Apple iPad users including celebrities and politicians have been exposed in a targeted hacking attack in the US.
The massive security breach left all of those affected open to spam and malicious hacking.
Today the US telephone company AT&T said it had blocked access to a website feature that revealed the addresses.
Contact details for a range of high-profile figures, including White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel are believed to be among those disclosed.
Hackers calling themselves Goatse Security revealed the flaw and shared the data with media website Gawker Media.
Experts played down the risks, saying little critical data had been lost.
AT&T, which is the only network offering iPad 3G services in the United States, said it would notify all iPad users whose e-mail addresses may have been accessed.
