AT&T Pushes Back Against Hackers

image It looks like somebody’s a wee bit cranky at the thought of hackers stealing their fun. AT&T is tired of playing nice and is now pushing back against the hackers. Over at Pocket-lint, you can read the whole sad affair.

It was only a matter of time before AT&T got good and fed up with the hackers. Question is, can they stop them? It’s looking as if they can and have, just take this example via the article which involves iPhoneunlocking.com:

“Until an assessment is made of the potential of legal action, Uniquephones is unable to release the unlocking software for sale.”

Should other hackers be quaking in their boots, or will this set off a chain reaction of even more pushing and shoving? Thoughts?

  1. My thoughts: If AT&T isn’t careful, they’ll begin to be regarded with the same, ah, lack of affection as the RIAA ...  Media should be in the business of enabling people to communicate, not getting in the way of it…
