“Underplayed in the discussion is the fact that all phones are subject to interference from the human who is using them.

iTunes store may be hacked
Engadget reports about another hack made in the Book category of an iTunes App Store. 42 of the top 50 books now belong to a seller named Thuat Nguyen, whose company is written as “mycompany” and its site is . Almost all of these books have been published in April and have little to no customer reviews or ratings. Though it is claimed that the books are available in English and Japanese language, people report they are actually appear to be in Vietnamese.

Apple hasn’t yet commented on the situation.
