Mac OS XWell it looks like Apple has started banning iPhone hackers from the iTunes App Store. Sherif Hashim, the iPhone developer and hacker who recently found an exploit in the latest iPhone OS 3.1.3, which could enable the unlock on 05.12.01 baseband for iPhone 3GS and 3G devices has been banned by Apple for the so called “security reasons”. This is what Sherif gets when he tries to access App Store from his iPhone.
Sherif posted about the ban on his twitter account today. Saying:
"Your Apple ID was banned for security reasons", that’s what i get when i try to go to the app store, they must be really angry
))))
and guess what my apple ID was, "sherif_hashim@yahoo.com", what a fool was me not to notice
Another iPhone hacker named iH8sn0w who is behind Sn0wbreeze – the PwnageTool alternative for Windows also confirmed this action from Apple saying that his Apple ID was banned following the release of XEMN.
@sherif_hashim lol, they did that to my ih8sn0wyday[@t]googmail.com too. (right after I posted XEMN)…
It is to be noted here that the said exploit which Sherif found has not been released yet. The iPhone Dev-Team who tested out the exploit confirmed it as working but they didn’t gave any ETA on when or if they are going to release a tool which is going to unlock iPhone 3.1.3 05.12.01 Baseband for iPhone 3G and 3GS. Maybe they don’t want to waste this all important exploit for this minor update and instead will use it when the major update such as iPhone 3.2 or iPhone 4.0 is released with the next-gen iPhone 4G.

LOL Apple will get owned.
Banning THESE folks will prove to be Apples biggest mistake.

Steve Jobs is Hitler. I truly hate him. It amazes me that Apple makes so much money when they constantly treat their customers with arrogance and contempt. I have a Nexus One phone now. I got rid of my iPhone because I was tired of being shackled to iTunes, and having Steve Jobs decide what I can do with my phone.

Dev team, we need the 3.1.3 unlock. Jailbreak as we all know is done, many peeps will be VERY happy if you can solved the BOOTrom 06.04 – 05.12.01 problem. Yuou guys could probably make a fortune. My “Better” half (used lightly) updated my 3G via itunes. ouch, downgraded back to 3.1.2 but the rest remains on update, cant use mine either
(#)
yeah, we really need help for unlock 3.1.3 baseband 05.12.01 first.. after that, hopefully I dont wanna upgrade the firmware anymore.. coz apple will be making harder if they give a new firmware.. please.. really need it.. thank you very much..
(#)

(#)
simonsays: No Its not an iPhone it's a BETTER iPhone!
(#)

please please!!!
(#)
you won't make it happen any faster, there might be an release in july

Exactly what I was thinking! Whats the point? These guys can wipe their phone set up a new Apple ID and end of story! What a waste of time for Apple to even bother with this “Security Reasons” thing. LMFAO Now what apple may do is block their phones by means of the shsh encryption keys or something, but they are skilled hackers so I doubt this would even cause them much harm

@ Vasic “Grow up, kids, please! Oh, and you may want to reset your password. You'll suddenly discover that you aren't banned after all. Apple doesn't care about any of you guys…”
Yea because Apple is too busy combing through the confiscated computer servers at Gizmodo. Ya know buying an iPhone from a guy that found it in a bar is evidently the crime of the century!!

lolz
) these hackers have lost their balls 
). why are they waiting for the release of iPhone OS 4 before going public on 3.1.3 exploit? they are afraid that they may not be able to hack the updated firmware? WTF?!

They wont release it… Because he is troll, one big troll who don't now how to hack 3.1.3. new bootloader -.-
(#)
if it's a lot of work for them for nothing, then they should stop doing it in the first place, don't you think?
by the way, i don't need any of these nonsense. F*ck iPhones! F*ck Apple!
