Chinese hackers crack iTunes gift cards algo

Chinese hackers succeeded cracking the algorithm of the code generator for iTunes gift cards. They use a generator of keys able to generate infinites codes and cheques of $200 they are selling for the moderate amount of $2,60. Apple is now confronted with the problem which they cannot immediately change the system of codes used because lots of accounts – legal cheques are still in circulation. This traffic which began 2 months ago will probably be expensive for Apple because artists must nevertheless be paid, it does not matter the legality of the mode of payment. The Chinese market is flooded by these false accounts – cheques which at the beginning were sold $47 instead of the $2,60 today.
