Apple is trying to crack down on iPhone hacking by banning hackers iTunes accounts

Apple is trying to crack down on iPhone hacking by banning hackers iTunes accounts.

A recent iPhone hacker by the name of Sherif Hashim was bragging about hacking the iPhone to allow it to run on any compatible GSM network.

After making several posts about it, he later found out that his iTunes account had been "disabled".  How you ask? 

Evidentially this "hacker" wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed as he  used use his screen name in his iTunes account email.

With all these so called "hacker" bans, it just goes to show you that Apple is adamant about keeping the iPhone on a closed playing field with AT&T.
