What’s new in iPhone 5?
App store hijacked! Fell prey to the fragile Apple’s security system. Weren’t things limited to the iPhone privacy issues were too much to talk about and ruin Steve’s renowned reputation; moreover the app store got hacked. It was published on “TheNextWeb” that the App Store has been hacked by a “rogue” developer.
The developer drove a number of sales to his eBooks. It was noticed through prominent increase in the rank by competing developers. The rise in the sales was very strange to the developers. They could not believe the Vietnamese-based books making so much in sales, in no time.
During a check for what mishaps were made to the Apple’s App store, it was noticeable that at least two of the customers have sacrificed their iTunes account in this conspiracy of book purchasing. The mysterious hype led a way suggesting everyone to look out for their iTunes account, which was abruptly defenceless from a synchronized attack on the Apple’s software. Although the developer had tried hard to get over the maximum accounts worldwide but succeeded in to affect only a few hundred accounts worldwide.
The category that hilted at the App store during this period was those apps which were the lowest traffic categories in the App Store. According to the various developers it was analyzed that an eBook to be ranked amongst 10-50 needs a wide range of almost 50-259 sales a day. It actually concluded that if a sale was forced on each account than the number of accounts involved was at minuscule compared to a 100 million active iTunes accounts.
Hacked App store wasn’t a big issue as a fair deal of it would be revised by Apple soon, but the hacked iTunes accounts are one of the foremost problem that need to be resolved soon. No denying in the fact that such kind of issues are known to all of us since long and all of us are influenced by these mighty activists who act idiotically to play the fame game.
Ongoing threads in various forums related to Apple confirm that almost every month, every other person imposes such a complaint to the topic, but from last few days there were increased reports on the Apple’s suspended system.
If you are not among those “influenced” than it’s a good time to change your easy and short password to a long and difficult one and make sure your (app store & iTune) accounts are safe and secure. And it’s high time Apple should be taking some serious steps towards the safeguard for iTunes app Store accounts.
