AT&T invited weev to check their interfaces? Could I see a link with the text of that invitation?


Weev owned an iPad. His iPad checked a url on ATT without him doing anything. That's really more than an invitation.


Really? So if you have a device that checks your email on gmail this is an invitation to browse any mailboxes stored on gmail? I have such device, you wouldn't mind me reading your gmail mailbox, right? Or would you?
