App pirates on vShare are letting you download free versions of paid iPhone apps.
App pirates are letting you download free versions of paid iPhone apps by taking advantage of a quirk in Apple's iTunes approval process.
The pirated app website, vShare, even works on iPhones that aren't "jailbroken."
Apple goes through great lengths to control which iOS apps are allowed in its iTunes App Store. Traditionally, the only way to install an app from outside the official app store is to jailbreak your iPhone.
But vShare has figured out how to get around that, according to cybersecurity firm Proofpoint and several other researchers contacted by CNNMoney. Proof point researchers gave CNNMoney an exclusive look at research that it will release on Wednesday.
How vShare beats Apple security
Apple lets corporations create their own internal apps for employees. If a company pays $299 per year and joins the Apple Developer Enterprise program, its apps get a special, trusted certificate.

You no doubt are aware of this...
The latest Apple/Mac/iOS Pings can be found by searching Keyword "ApplePingList" on FreeRepublic's Search.
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me
I posted it. . . LOL, but thanks for the PING anyway.
Ouch. Hopefully they’ll fix this soon, and hopefully most people will be smart enough to download apps from some random pirate site... I hope. Apple was smart enough to include certificate revocation.
Good news for the dupes and hypnotized victims using Apple devices. Xiamai has compiled a great set of apps for its smart phones and tablets. Xiamai is going port most of them to the IOS so that Apple bois, boitois and fanbois can use them too. They will be found at the Xiamai app store in a few months.
Xiamai is eating Apple's lunch in China and Asia. You too can buy their smartphones-tablets now at ebay. How now and WOW!!!!
Xiamai is driving Tim Cook nutso with its superior design and 4g reception. We have all seen Tim Cooks extremely "out gay" advocacy in the last 12 months. Now you can blame Xiamai for pushing Tim over the edge. The craziest thing is Tim Cook is married...to a woman!!! Incredible!! Incroyable!!! But has gone so kooky he thinks he is a gay man trapped in a heterosexual man's body. BLAME freakin Xiamai!!!
Is that true?
Had no idea.
What a sickening piece of crap.
Me too! I am amazed!
As far as I know, it is another one of Baron DennisW Munchausen's LIES.
Your usual brainwashed Apple victimology is absent today on December 23rd. So I will make this simple for you. Despite all his out gay advocacy your Tim Cook is married to a woman.
You will not find anything on the internet because we all know that if Apple can not market to jaded urbanites and degenerate gays it is done.
Post your proof, Baron. I don't give a damn, one way or the other.
But I know the verity of your posts are always found to be lies.
Oh well I am willing to grin & baron until we find out for sure.
Cookie sure looks like a hen-pecked (and maybe -peckered) little pansy, no question there.
The Apple booboisie (credit HL Menken) is getting a dual schlonging these days.
- via the tanking stock prices
- Via your Tim Cook revealing in Hufffingtoon Post that he is married....... to a woman not a man or boitoi
Oh, look. An iPhone killer. It's been weeks since the last one of those.
Apparently, Cook considers “being gay among the greatest gifts God has given me.”. Why this bilge is constantly promoted in a conservative forum, I will never know!
The only people posting that bilge are the Anti-Apple Hate Brigade members, such as you. You are a few others are the only ones who keep bringing it up. Seems to be you have a fixation on gayness. Projection, perhaps? Concern about your own masculinity?
There is no company named "Xiamai." So I have absolutely no certainty about what company the Baron is referring to. (I have my suspicions, but if my suspicions are true, then his claims are certainly false. As usual.)
Timmy Cook and his fanbois all like to crawl into the berth together.
Definitely the Boss’ call....I just do not see how this stuff contributes to reducing govt largess or supports the cause of conservatism.
Hear that.
At the very least it keeps the Cookroaches out where we can see ‘em.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
