The unique string of numbers and letters assigned to your iPhone can potentially expose your real-life identity.
Security researcher Aldo Cortesi last week published his discovery of a flaw in the unique device identifier (UDID) stored on each iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
While this device identifier is well-known, it's not supposed to be connected to a person's actual identity. But Cortesi discovered that some apps can link the identifier to the phone owner's Facebook profile, which effectively puts a face behind that string of numbers and letters.
"It's like a permanent, unalterable tracking cookie that can't be changed and that the user is not aware of," Cortesi told Wired.com. "The UDID idea has got such deep flaws because it literally identifies the device."
