Apple's in-app purchasing process circumvented by Russian hacker\
http://j.mp/LeS1VR (9 to 5 Mac)
"First noticed by Russian blog i-ekb.ru, the "in-app proxy"method does
not require a jailbreak, can be completed by novices in three steps
using just an iOS device, and allows users to install in-app content
for free. The hack also works on all devices running iOS 3.0 to 6.0 We
have confirmed the method works (at least temporarily), and the
published instructions are starting to get attention, so we decided to
publish this story as a warning to the Apple developer community."
