    Pity the morons at iPhoneUnlockUK. They sold an iPhone unlock based on the Dev Team’s work and now are paying the price . Hackers broke into iPhoneUnlockUK’s servers, stole their customer lists, and sent the lists to the Dev Team who have decided to enact a little frontier justice. They just sent emails to the service’s 21,000 customers encouraging them to wise up and ask for their money back.

    iPhoneUnlockUK claims that they’re offering a value-add by selling the Dev Team’s software, which is BS. The free software is so simple it’s criminal to try to sell it. Luckily the company keeps their credit card rolls on a different server or they’d be singing a different tune right now.
