You can now check if any of your Apple devices’ UDID is among the one million Apple device Unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs) that were dumped online recently. The Next Web has come up with a search tool that can help you find out if your device’s UDID is among the ones leaked. Hackers associated with the well-known hacktivist group, Anonymous, recently dumped one million UDIDs belonging to Apple devices online. In the Pastebin dump, where the hackers from AntiSec dumped the UDIDs, they reveal that the original file carried information from around 12,000,000 devices, but they found a million of them to be enough to leak online. The search tool allows you to input a part of your UDID and searches the database of the one million leaked UDIDs for matches. You can enter your complete UDID too, but The Next Web states that since the tool does not operate via a secured connection, it is advisable to input only a part of your device’s UDID. If you need help in figuring out how to get your UDID, click here.“To check your device, just input your UDID/UUID into the form and we’ll run it against the database. The more characters you enter from your UDID, the more accurate your result will be. We do not store UDIDs entered, but as this is not transmitted over SSL, if you are concerned about your security, please enter just part of your UDID,” The Next Web states.</p>Check if your UDID is among the ones leaked
