Mac App Store Attacked By Hackers

One well-known group, which operates under the name “Hackulous”, claims it’s developed a program, called Kickback, that breaks the copy protection in applications distributed through the Mac App Store.

A spokesman for the group who goes by the name “Dissident” told the BBC that Hackulous will wait until the Mac App Store is well stocked with apps before it releases Kickback on the Internet. “We’re not going to release Kickback until well after the store’s been established. We don’t want to devalue applications and frustrate developers,” Dissident said, according to the BBC.
