Russian Hacker Rigs Free Apple App Store Purchases

[brightcove video="1733818341001" /]

A Russian hacker claims to have found a loophole in Apple's App Store that lets users make free in-app purchases.

The hacker, who goes by the name ZonD80, apparently figured out a way to do so without having to jailbreak your phone. All you have to do is download some security certificates from his website and change a setting on your iPhone or iPad's Wi-fi connection.

However, aside from being illegal and unethical, the hack may not actually work, either. Moreover, downloading the software may mean sharing your personal information.
