PC World - Less than 24 hours after Apple launched the Mac App Store, hackers have found a simple way to pirate applications from the store. Applications from the Mac App Store that skimp on DRM features can be easily validated as genuine with a few clicks when they are downloaded from third-party websites. But security firm Sophos says the exploit not only leads to piracy, but also to malware.
