An interesting story reported by The Huffington Post suggests Conde Nast iPad (and iPhone) apps have a critical flaw that can allows anyone inclined to change a preference file to download new issues of magazines for free.
Conde Nast publishes iOS versions of its popular magazines including GQ, Vogue, Wired, and The New Yorker. The hack, which is really just a simple set of instructions, was developed by the Italian "research group" Dark Apples.
Interestingly, Adobe finds itself in the middle of this security issue. Adobe manages Conde Nast's iPad apps and is most likely responsible for the oversight.
