Post Tech: AT&T suspends iPhone pre-orders after web glitch
AT&T has suspended pre-orders of Apple iPhone 4 on Wednesday, a day after its Web site was overwhelmed with unexpected demand, triggering a glitch in its system that inadvertently exposed some customer's information to other users.
Gizmodo, a technology Web site, reported there were at least three cases in which users were able to see other people's personal information when they tried to log in. AT&T told Gizmodo that it had been "unable to replicate the issue, but the information displayed did not include call-detail records, social security numbers, or credit card information."
AT&T has been under fire over the past week for another privacy glitch, which exposed the e-mail addresses and unique device ID for the "sim" cards for 114,000 users of another Apple device¿the iPad tablet. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and ABC anchor Diane Sawyer were among those whose information was exposed.
