Ever since the beginning of the personal computer, hackers have tried and succeeded in breaking down secure systems. Apple's iPhone store is no different. Hackers have found an exploit through the seemly unbreakable system. Through attacking the clients of developers IDE and by mimicking the security layers, they were able to steal millions of users confidential data including bank information. Although we are surprised that this could happen to Apple, we really shouldn't be. This is what the evolution of the personal computer has been about from day one. It's been about a "hacker" looking to push existing technology to do something it couldn't do yesterday. Sometimes this is for selfish reasons, but whether it be security, sound processing, game development, or etc, it is events like these that push our technology to the next level.
