Good news if you're one of the 114,000 iPad 3G owners whose email address was uncovered by hackers spoofing the AT&T ICC database the other day -- AT&T is very, very sorry, and it's written you a nice email to make it all better. Ma Bell says the "hackers deliberately went to great efforts with a random program," which is pretty funny -- we can only imagine the damage insincere hackers making a half-hearted effort with a non-random program could have done. In any event, AT&T says... the hole's been patched, that it's working with law enforcement to figure out who's liable, and promises that it takes your privacy seriously. Yes, it's all very nice -- although we're sure affected customers would much rather hear that they're being comped a free month of service. Full email after the break.

[Thanks, Brad]
