It isn't related to this leak what so ever, what I am saying is in response to you stating that people will not use mobile devices to track and stalk people for whatever reason, when it is a growing and major problem.
I concur that the information as it is released now is not really threatening... the information that could be released based upon what other data is included but was not released is threatening, or could be if used by the wrong person.
Hell even if 1/12th of the devices have an email address, that's one hell of an email list, captive iOS users that could be used for SPAM, Phishing, etc.
I know everyone in the UDID list has an iOS device and an Apple ID, maybe I make an Apple look alike website and coerce people into verifying their personal information.
