Fake iPhone Camera+ App Allowed in App Store
A fake version of the popular Camera+ iPhone application was offered on Apple's App Store over the weekend, according to a post by Glyn Evans on the iPhoneography blog on Saturday, just the latest example of suspicious and malicious applications to slip through Apple's shadowy application vetting project.
Tap Tap Tap, the company behind the real Camera+ application has seen the popularity of its product surge since Apple released the iPhone 4S in October. Sales of the application have totalled over $5.1 m. to date, with someone buying a copy of Camera+ every three seconds, according to a blog post earlier this month.
The creators of the impostor Camera+ application aimed to exploit its rampant popularity as of late, though its not clear whether or not the bogus application was malicious, or just a stand-in designed to generate sales.
