Apple Begins Banning iPhone Hackers From App Store
In an attempt to stop hackers from exploiting their prized iPhone operating system, Apple has begun to ban well-known hackers of the iPhone from the iTunes App Store, according to Redmond Pie’s Taimur Asad. iPhone OS 3.1.3 exploiter Sherif Hashim recently found himself in a bit of a pickle, when he received a notification stating “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” on his iPhone when attempting to access the App Store.
After posting about the incident on Twitter, another fellow iPhone hacker also noted that he too had been disabled from the App Store after contributing to an iPhone exploit. Of course, the users will likely be able to sign up with another email address, so we’re not exactly sure how this serves as a deterrent.
