First iOS, Now Mac OS X In-App Purchases Hacked

Posted by timothy on from the next-up-7-11-purchases dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Last week Russian developer Alexey Borodin hacked Apple's In-App Purchase program for all devices running iOS 3.0 or later, allowing iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch users to circumvent the payment process and essentially steal in-app content. Apple [Friday] announced a temporary fix and that it would patch the holes with the release of iOS 6. While Cupertino was distracted, Borodin came in and pulled off the same scheme on the Mac."

    Right, well I'm glad you're happy. Just as long as we have the meaning of the word steal sorted out, people stealing other people's work is a-okay.
