Push Notification Doesn't Work on Hacked iPhones?

Apple's apparently taken a stand against 'hacked' iPhones. Czech-based company PoweryBase, makers of the NotifyMe application, have just found what looks like evidence of Apple trying to stymie hackers. They noticed that users of hacked iPhones, who make up 5% of their app customers, also made up 80% of their customer support requests. NotifyMe is a push-based application that allows the iPhone to warn users of personal tasks or events.

PoweryBase looked into the issues and found out that people with hacked phones were all experiencing the same basic issue. Push notifications just didn't work on their phones. The only possible culprit was Apple, blocking hacked users as a way to discourage users from breaking their carrier agreements.
