Apple Lifts Ban On the Word "Jailbreak"

cybernews — Sun, 20 May 2012 16:33:00 +0000

Gunkerty Jeb writes “After banning the word ‘jailbreak’ from its app store and music library, Apple [Friday] reversed course and again permits the term — slang for hacking into a device to download unauthorized content — to appear on iTunes and its App Store. On Thursday bloggers noticed Apple had censored the word, using the Thin Lizzy album ‘Jailbreak’ as an example. For awhile, the title was listed as ‘J******k’ in Apple’s music library, at least its U.S. version. In other instances, digital content continued to bear the full name Jailbreak.”

Flashback Click Fraud Campaign Was a Bust

Flashback was tagged early on by anti-virus vendors, who promptly sink-holed many of the command & control addresses, and essentially crippled the hacker’s ability to control the vast majority of the Flashback botnet… but that’s not the best part. The Flashback spawned click fraud campaign resulted in… nada! It seems that their pay-per-click affiliate may be on to their scheme, as they refused to pay out. Score one for the good guys, for once.”
