For your information, world’s most popular hacking group “AntiSec” has claimed more than 12 million UDIDs have been hacked, acquired and grabbed from an FBI laptop and their hack team has released 1 million UDIDs to public proving the statement. Even this kind of security issue is not categorized having big security risks, it will still turn a big deal when the leaks come with other details like iTunes Password, Payment Info and Billing Address.
Reacting that security issue, Apple has just stopped and rejected any app that collects UDID from users’ iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch.
