Software pirates have figured out how to bypass Apple’s App Store to distribute hacked versions of popular paid apps including Spotify, Angry Birds, Pokemon Go, Minecraft and others to iOS users.
TutuApp, Panda Helper, AppValley and TweakBox are just a few of the illicit software distributors that have discovered how to use digital certificates to gain access to a program Apple instituted to allow enterprises to distribute their internal apps to employees without going through the App Store.
If this sounds familiar, it should because Facebook and Google were both recently caught misusing enterprise developer certificates to distribute their apps to consumers in a similar way that bypassed Apple’s strict app review policy.
