AT&T said it fixed a security breach that affected over 100 thousand iPad owners.

AT&T issued a statement saying that it was informed on Monday by a business customer of the potential breach.

"The only information that can be derived from the ICC IDS is the e-mail address attached to that device. ... We have essentially turned off the feature that provided the e-mail addresses," the statement said.

The statement said the company corrected the problem by Tuesday. AT&T also added it does not believe many people were affected.

According to Gawker, 114,000 accounts were affected by a hacking company called Goatse. AT&T says it will continue to investigate and inform all customers who were affected by the breach.
