This is absolutely an Apple Security Issue. Yes Apple put their device on AT&T’s network but Apple failed to test it. If Apple had done some basic testing they would have known about the security risks (unless they are completely incompetent). This is a MAJOR failure on Apple, instead of creating something that is supposed to be COOL and make some people lust and got-to-have-it they should have been more concerned with making the iPad work properly and testing the security of the information that will be used on these devices. Typical Apple does not care about the user or security only making a buck.
