Mayor Bloomberg's info reportedly among those stolen in June security breach

Federal prosecutors in New Jersey are announcing the arrests of two men accused of stealing e-mail addresses and other information from more than 100,000 Apple iPad users, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg and a slew of other dignataries, according to previous reports.

Daniel Spitler of San Francisco and Andrew Auernheimer of Fayetteville, Ark., each face one count of conspiracy to access a computer without authorization and one count of fraud in connection with personal information related to the hack of AT&T's servers.

Spitler is scheduled to appear in federal court in Newark on Tuesday afternoon. Auernheimer is to appear before a federal judge in Fayetteville, Ark.

AT&T Inc. in June acknowledged a security weak spot that exposed the e-mail addresses of apparently more than 100,000 iPad users.
