#in-app hack

In the past, in-app purchasing (IAP) hacks has only been available for jailbroken iDevices. But recently, a Russian hacker developed an ingenious way to bring that work around without the jailbreak. According to a Russian blog (i-ekb.ru), zonD80 is the man behind the hack which breaches some of the device's security processes without having to jailbreak the iDevice. In addition, this hack works on any iPod touch, iPhone and iPad running on iOS 3 to iOS 6 and can be done by just performing two simple steps. The hack is done by tricking app and the device by installing two certificates and altering the DNS settings of your gizmo. The DNS setting will route your requests to the hacker's servers. This hack, however, does not work on all apps. Besides the fact that it is illegal, you’re also putting your personal information on the line by doing the hack.
