Wow. Just wow. Marko Karppinen, head of a Finnish software development firm specializing in Mac software, just found himself on the wrong end of a security breach. According to his blog post from this morning Karppinen was the victim of a complex, crafty and well-executed scheme clearly carried out by a team of unscrupulous professional hackers. The end result; Karppinen’s Apple ID account was compromised and access to personal data was established for an unknown period of time. So how did this guerrilla team pull it off? They sent the following, umm, complex malicious code to Apple via email:
am forget my password of mac,did you give me password on new email marko.[redacted]@yahoo.com
No, seriously. That’s how easy it was for some grammar-stallion to have Apple change the email account associated with Karppinen’s account and issue a reset password to the new address. Luckily the culprit wasn’t quite smart enough (surprising, we know) to change Karppinen’s security question so he was able to regain control of his account rather quickly. Well, at least no one can say Apple customer service doesn’t act fast. They responded almost immediately to the thief’s email and accommodated him without hesitation. Kudos, Apple Support!

| Apple Fans Predict Blowout Quarter...But All That Matters Is Guidance | | A group of folks who ridicule Wall Street analysts for intentionally lowballing their Apple estimates so Apple can "surprise" on the upside have assembled their own consensus for Apple's Q4. Not surprisingly, the consensus calls for upside:
$8.4 billion of revenue vs. the Street consensus of $8.0 and Apple's guidance of $7.5.
EPS of $1.25 vs. the Street consensus of $1.11 [..] Read complete article | | Published 19-Oct-2008 by Silicon in General

| Apple Ultracompact USB Charger Recall |  Attention Apple owners and Mac fanboys: Apple has issued a recall yesterday for their Ultra-compact USB chargers. Apparently the prongs have been breaking off and getting stuck in outlets, putting people at risk of electric shock. Yikes! Apple is advising everyone to stop using them immediately, which is kinda stupid since they won’t be replacing [...]
