Does the UDID have the iPhone name encoded into the ID?
After reading about the FBI hacked iPhone accounts I had to check and see if I was one of the people who was leaked. I'm, but I'm wondering now if that's really true. Is it possible that anyone with a valid UDID will find encoded in that ID the name of their iPhone which is what is being displayed on the "see if it's happened to you too" sites? Prehaps all iPhone users are included in the supposed leaked 1 million accounts on the internet, simply because a valid UDID is decoded by the website thus giving you the impression that they know something about you, when in fact you just gave them that information to feed back to you at the bottom of the site. Make sense?
Added (1). Yes every iPhone has a unique UDID but is it possible that the name of your phone is embedded into the UDID? It's a 20 digit alpha numeric, which in my opinion could quite possibly contain the name of my phone encoded in that series of letters and numbers. Maybe it's just possible that the sites aren't databases but instead decripters which are designed to decode the UDID, reveal my iPhone name, display the name on the site, which of course fools me into thinking the FBI has had this information all along, when in fact I just in essence gave them that info. If the UDID is set at the factory and is never changed, then my theory is wrong, but that's what I'm trying to get to the bottom of here.

Added (5). Wow…
sorry about what just happened there
Every iPhone has a unique UDID. So either your phone's UDID was leaked, or it wasn't. Unless that website isn't working right, your theory doesn't make sense.
- Will my iPhone become bricked after updating to iOS 7 without registering my UDID? I recently downloaded iOS 7 without registering my UDID number. I have followed the steps perfectly by holding shift and clicking update software on iTunes and selecting the iOS 7 ipsw. I was wondering if my iPhone will become bricked when the iOS 7 beta 2 comes out to developers. I have watched one youtube video and it says it will become bricked and read a comment on another website saying it won't if you have followed the steps perfectly. Will you guys help me?
- What's the other name for Sprint? Which other name or abbreviation is used? I want to know if Sprint is also called by another name. Because i want to have my Iphone 4s unlocked, but i can't see Sprint on the given options listed by the OS unlocking softwares
- Text message name shows last name instead of first on iPhone 5S? I have changed the contacts to be first, last for mail, contacts, calendars but it's still only showing the person's last name in the text message. How do I change it to show the full name or the first name?
- Just Registered my UDID so does that mean my iPhone can't get bricked? Just registered my UDID but i do not have a dev account. Does this mean I can update through all the Beta's and Apple will not brick me? And when the final version is released I can upgrade right to that also?
