Apple apps not as safe as thought?

A malicious piece of software designed for iPhones and iPads has been created to show that Apple's app store is not immune to malware.
The code was designed to look like a stock price tracker, but was also able to steal data.

Experts said that the proof-of-concept program was a "significant threat" to the app store.

I was reading about Charlie this morning, he seems to be a very cleaver chap and was helping Apple spot flaws in their code. I can't help but think removing his developer access could backfire and he turns rogue.

He would probably have a conveniently fatal accident.
