Just released, Apple News + service has been hacked

In the morning of March 26 (Vietnam time), Apple introduced Apple News + service to allow users to read many different magazines at registration fee of 9.99 USD / month. However, Steve Troughton-Smith, a well-known hacker in iPhone hacking, has passed Apple's security layer and has access to all the high-end content in this service without paying a fee.

According to Steve Troughton-Smith, Apple does not protect digital content in this Apple News + service, just knowing the correct URL, anyone can download premium content. Even Apple News + app has all the URLs needed to download the full magazine without spending any money.

These errors are detected on the macOS application. Many people believe that this version is redone based on iOS application so it is likely that there is lower security.

However, this is still a disappointing error for a company that is always proud of security like Apple. From now until Apple fixes this error, those who take advantage of this error can read the news for free on Apple News +.
