Despite Apple putting in safe guards for unauthorized in-app purchases, but the company still had to shell out more than $6,131.00 due to an 8-year-old's purchases that he made while inside an iOS app.
Lee Neale, 43, says that his daughter spent £2,000 in six days on 74 transactions playing Campus Life, My Horse, Hay Day, and Smurfs' Village. Neale claims he only became aware of the expenditures when his bank froze his account.
His daughter knew her father's password by watching him enter it in when he installed the games, so that's why she could get to the in-app purchases and run up the big bill.
Initially, Apple had refused toy reimburse Neale. Â But over the past weekend, he got a call from Apple:
"Apple called me to say they will be refunding the money I have lost and apologized for closing my case so early. Â It has really saved my bacon."
A hacker who has admitted to hacking into Apple's developer's web site says that he didn't mean "any harm" and reported at least 13 bugs to Apple for them to fix. Â The hacker also claims that he meant no harm for the attack and he wanted to see "how deep he could go" into the web site before being discovered or stopped.
The above came from a hacker that reported to TechCrunch.com.  Going by the name of Ibrahim Balic identified himself as a "security researcher" who attempted to point out serious issues to Apple about its Dev Center website. His comments came in response to an admission by Apple on Sunday that its developer website was hacked.
As of this writing (07/22/2013, 10:57am Eastern) the developer's site was still down but does contain a full explanation as to what happened and other information.
