Many games have ridiculous in app purchases. Its ludicrous to charge tens of pounds/dollars for a few extra coins.
You don't have to play those games or buy those in app purchases.

As a developer, I have to say I'm glad MacRumors has reported this. It's just a final nail in the coffin for IAP, I say.
1 - It generates almost no money (in my experience, anyways.)
2 - It's painfully difficult to implement and test and verify.
To inform people that there's a vulnerability in the App Store, it was in fact exploited, and warn people about the possible dangers of trying to use the hack. Millions of people use iOS and the App Store daily. Seems to me like more than valid reasons to report on it.

Those of us who want to jailbreak to simply have full control of our hardware are made to look bad because of people like you.
Nah, just outdated thinking, from back when Russia was "the enemy.". Wanna bet the poster is an older person who lived during the cold war?
However, it IS outdated thinking; the cold war is over, Russia is our friend now.

It's dumb to ask MacRumors not to report the story.
Just for software updates, teenage kids might have the iTunes password of their parents - and of course, it is the same account because you don't want to pay for content several times.
Thank goodness! Paying a whole $0.99 for a quality app and supporting developers and not being a dirtbag crook was just killing me!

I suspect that the ire is less about reporting the story and the risks, and more linking to the site for this service. Which facilitates using it

if your child, regardless of how responsible you think he is, has the password to your account you deserve him buying out your bank account.
Entirely agree with you.
And if any developer deserves their in-app purchases to be stolen, it's ZYNGA, they are the BIGGEST OFFENDER! Even after you fully buy their game ZOMBIE SWIPEOUT, you can only play a few minutes, then you have to BUY COINS JUST SIMPLY TO KEEP ON PLAYING! Go Russian Hacker!!
