The chief executive of the publisher BlueToad says that data used to identify Apple devices posted by hackers who said they stole the information from the FBI matches data from BlueToad servers.

Last week, hackers identifying as members of the Anonymous AntiSec movement posted data allegedly taken from an FBI laptop. The agency immediately denied the hack and the accusation that the FBI had “sought or obtained” data that developers can use to determine Apple device IDs.
