( CNN ) -- Apple said Wednesday that it never provided identification numbers of iPhones and iPads to the FBI , after hackers claimed to have scored millions of them by breaking into an agent 's laptop . `` The FBI has not requested this information from Apple , nor have we provided it to the FBI or any organization , '' Apple said in a statement to CNN . Hackers with AntiSec , one of the multitude of groups associated with Web activist movement Anonymous , posted online what they claimed are the IDs of more than 1 million iPhones and iPads . And they say that 's just part of the more than 12 million IDs -- and other information such as users ' names , cell phone numbers and billing addresses -- they got from the laptop of an FBI agent . Apple added that in its latest mobile operating system , iOS 6 , Apple has replaced the types of identifiers the hackers appear to have gotten and will be discontinuing their use . Security experts have said that the IDs , posted on document-sharing site Pastebin , appear to be legitimate . A day earlier , the FBI denied the hackers ' claim that they accessed the laptop of Christopher K. Stangl , a cybersecurity expert , by exploiting a vulnerability in programming language Java . `` At this time there is no evidence indicating that an FBI laptop was compromised or that the FBI either sought or obtained this data , '' the FBI said in a statement . The bureau 's press office went further on its Twitter feed . `` Bottom line : TOTALLY FALSE , '' it wrote . Via the Twitter account that first posted a link to the documents , the hackers responded quickly Wednesday as word of Apple 's statement began spreading . `` Apple : We Did n't Give FBI Any Device IDs . But who did ? That 's the 10000001 $ question , '' read a post on the feed . The group says it released exactly 1,000,001 IDs of the more than 12 million it collected . In one of the story 's more bizarre twists , the website Gawker posted a photo Wednesday of one of its reporters , Adrian Chen , wearing a ballet tutu with a tennis shoe on his head . In their Pastebin post , the hackers , in typically irreverent style , said they would n't be talking to the media about the hack unless Gawker posted such a photo of Chen , who sometimes writes critically of Anonymous . As of Wednesday afternoon , Chen said he had yet to hear from Anonymous .
