Security Woes for Apple
"Norwegian hacker Jon Johansen, who broke the security code on movie DVDs to prevent illegal content pirating, has apparently succeeded in hacking into Apple's AirPort WLAN and releasing an encryption key to users.
The key unlocks Apple's AirPort Express wireless hub protecting music streams from the iTunes Music Store. Johansen reportedly also released a program called 'JustePort' that enables users to stream MPEG4 files to the AirPort Express module.
With the encryption key now widely available, it is possible that other programmers can create applications that let users play music files that are not supported by iTunes."
