AT&T suspends iPhone pre-orders after Web glitch

AT&T halts iPhone pre-orders after glitch


AT&T suspended pre-orders of the Apple iPhone 4 on Wednesday, a day after the wireless carrier's Web site was overwhelmed with unexpected demand, triggering a glitch in its system that inadvertently exposed some customer's information to other users.

Apple said that advanced sales of the iPhone 4 hit 600,000 Tuesday but that the strong demand resulted in "many order and approval system malfunctions."

Gizmodo.com, a technology site, reported at least three cases in which users were able to see other people's personal information when they tried to log in. AT&T said it had been "unable to replicate the issue, but the information displayed did not include call-detail records, Social Security numbers, or credit card information."
