Unexpected erotic images appear on iTunes version in Russia

Although seeing erotic illustrations, users cannot buy or rent these movies.

'If someone clicks on these movies and tries to buy them, they won't actually buy these porn movies, but another movie,' said Mikko Hypponen, an expert with security firm F Secure. said. 'Maybe these are the right movies that are being rented out on iTunes, but they show the wrong images.'

'This situation is the same as when you went to the store to rent a DVD, but the cover image on the disc was mislabeled,' Hypponen added.'This is a mistake and it seems that Apple has been hurried to put the movies on the iTunes Store'.

On the issue of movies that lack illustrations that are linked to the xxx.xxx domain, it seems that with movies without illustrations, Apple will have to add a temporary web address, as if is the source of the movie. However, for movies that do not have a website, Apple will use the xxx.xxx domain name to fill in the gaps, and this is a site of 'adult' content .

According to Hypponen, this error can be fixed easily, such as linking pictures with missing images to Apple's home page.

Meanwhile, Graham Cluley, an IT expert at Sophos, viewed the error of Apple's serious mistake.

'The worst thing is when you want to film an animated movie for children, then it is a pornographic film,' Cluley commented. 'This shows that Apple did not thoroughly check its software or did it negligently before giving it to users.'

Many security experts are concerned that in the case of instead of displaying pornographic content, it will be even more dangerous if Apple accidentally leads users to websites that contain malicious content, it is unlikely that many will believe it. Apple's iTunes service again led to malicious websites to be wary.

It is still only being recorded with users in Russia and Apple has not yet made a comment on its serious error.
