Andrew Auernheimer, who reportedly hacked into AT&T's website to steal iPad users' personal details, received bail after he signed on a $50,000, the US Department of Justice announced on Monday.

Auernheimer, aka Weev, has been ordered not to travel outside New Jersey and New York, and not to use Internet-enabled mobile phones.

Speaking on the topic, US Magistrate Judge Madeline Cox Arleo said, "If I find him with an iPad or a Droid or any other device that has Internet access, I'll revoke bail. It's his choice."

However, the judge allowed him to use the Internet for work-related tasks.

Auernheimer along with Daniel Spitler has been facing charges of fraud & conspiracy in relation to the June 2010 incident, where the duo hacked into the personal accounts of as many as 120,000 iPad users to steal their e-mail addresses and unique ICC-ID numbers.

Auernheimer claims that he was just wanted to let AT&T know of a severe security flaw. He says he and others in his group had notified AT&T about the flaw, but filed court documents do not believe his claim.
