Wanted: A Cracker To Save iPhone

July 5th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Apple, Gadget, Online News, iPhone, mobile

Apple products often become the crackers’ target. One of the hot target to break into is the 3G iPhone which is going to be launched. Instead of tracking the hackers trace and put them into jail, Apple has another interesting plan. The plan is that Apple is willing to work together with the cracker who can break into their latest smartphone. Apple then invites the cracker to join their company to be iPhone 3G security technician.

The first condition is that the cracker must have strong interests on the mobile technology world and can prove that their concept can break into iPhone, as quoted from Softpedia. An ex-crackers named Kevin Mitnick, who has changed his profession to a security consultant supports this idea to use crackers’ expertise to increase company security. That cracker’s expertise is of course more useful if it is used for positive things, rather than for them to do bad things in the internet world and end up in the jail.
