Apple has moved to ban hackers Sherif Hashim and iH8Sn0w from the App Store after they discovered exploits in the iPhone firmware.

Sherif Hashim recently found an exploit in the iPhone OS 3.1.3 firmware which could lead to an unlock for the most recent 05.12.01 baseband.

Shortly after Hashim posted his discovery on Twitter Apple removed his App Store privileges.

"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 :))), can't help laughing, they are babies :)))

at least they should have wait after the release :))


Interestingly, this same exact thing happened to iH8Sn0w who was responsible for finding an exploit which lead to the unlock of the last baseband.

lol, they did that to my ih8sn0wyday[@t]googmail.com too. (right after I posted XEMN)...
