"DVD Jon" cracked Apple' s iPhone activation
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
Hacker Jon Lech Johansen, a.k.a. "DVD Jon", has cracked Apple's iPhone activation, or so he claims, i.e. iPhone buyers will be able to activate and use the new handset without having to sign the AT&T wireless contract.
After attaining this feat the Hacker posted a post titled "iPhone Independence Day".
The Norwegian cracker initially bolted his name for himself eight years ago when he cracked the encryption code on DVDs. And later, he cracked the digital rights management code that prevents iPod users from playing songs purchased from online music stores other than iTunes.
"I've found a way to activate a brand new unactivated iPhone without giving any of your money or personal information to AT&T," Johansen wrote on his "So sue me" blog. "The iPhone does not have phone capability, but the iPod and Wi-Fi work."
