Andrew Auernheimer, aka Weev [wikipedia.org] — the grayhat security researcher and Internet antiblog troll [wikipedia.org] was convicted [wired.com] for exposing a flaw in AT&T security which allowed the e-mail addresses of iPad users to be revealed.

The conviction was vacated [amlaw.com] Friday (2014/04/11) on the grounds of improper choice of venue, but the court commented [arstechnica.com] anyway that "no evidence was advanced at trial" that "any password gate or other code-based barrier" was breached.
