MacRumors posted a news story that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has begun an investigation into the AT&T security breach

Any investigation into the incident is likely to look at two factors: how the information was obtained and what was done with it. Escher Auernheimer, a member of the group that exploited the hole in AT&T's website to obtain the information, claims that nothing illegal was done in collecting the information, as access was obtained simply by entering information into a public website.
