Security fail for Apple as hacker cracks iOS in-app purchasing
Developers could be seriously out of pocket

A Russian hacker claims to have found a way to crack the in-app purchasing mechanism used in iOS so that users can get free content in a variety of applications.

The hacker, dubbed ZonD80, posted a video of the crack on YouTube and claims that the technique makes it possible to beat Apple's payment systems by installing a couple of certificates and assigning a specific IP address to the device.

ZonD80 is now asking for donations to set up a website to promote the hack.
"Why you must to pay for content, already included in purchased app? I think, you must not," he said

"In-Appstore.com Get in-app ..."
This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Apple, Inc..

Russian hacker finds a way to get in-app purchases for free (updated)
A new hack surfaced today allowing iOS users to download in-app purchases without actually paying for them, according to 9to5Mac. The hack comes from Russia and is a three-step process that works on all phones, not just jail-broken ones.
Apple says it is aware of the issue and is working toward rectifying it.
Once installed, users will see a push notification from ZonD80 that reads, “If you like in-appstore.com, click like button!” as opposed to the traditional Apple ID request.

How many spam emails can a botnet send in a day? How many servers does it take? Well, an Armenian Court has sentenced the creator of the Bredolab botnet, Georgiy Avanesov, to four years in prison, according to a report from the ARMENPRESS news agency. The 27 year of Russian man was found guilty of computer sabotage for starting a botnet operation in 2009 which was used to distribute denial-of-services attacks and for sending, get this, over 3.6 billion spam emails per day ( that's right, BILLION )!!

Downloaded and activated with no problems. The first two screens came up worked fine.
Then the menu came up and there was no control over the mouse or the keyboard. It began to scoll up and down the menu and some how I did manage to get in the game twice.
Typing in the player got enough letters in to start the game. Once in the game everything worked great. When it was time to quit got back to the menu and had to use task manager to close. Any help would be great.

I've downloaded HE, ran the setup and activation program in my windows XP admin account. I entered the activation code. Everything works fine. Yahoo!

The problem...

I tried running it in my "limited" windows XP account after I run the activation program and enter the code again.

I get the following error message:

Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library

Debug Assertion Failed!

Program: C:\Program Files\...\Hacker Evolution\Hacker Evolution.exe

For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.
