Apple Bans Hackers

Apple has taken 'serious' steps against two iPhone hackers by banning them from accessing the App Store.

According the Register, "Sherif Hashim, an iPhone developer who developed a hack for the latest iPhone OS 3.1.3, and iH8Sn0w, who developed the XEMN tool designed to unlock iPhone 3.1.3 radio baseband for the 3G and 3GS, found that their Apple IDs were blocked and accounts deactivated when they tried to access the app store of Monday."
 
Sherif updated his Twitter with the message, "Your Apple ID was banned for security reasons", that's what i get when i try to go to the app store, they must be really angry :)))))"
 
Another banned hacker, iH8Sn0w, posted on his twitter account, "@sherif_hashim lol, they did that to my ih8sn0wyday[@t]googmail.com too. (right after I posted XEMN)..."
 
Apple is quite rigid about such attempts, however, as the thumb rule goes, you can't beat a hacker!
