Student Allegedly Hacks Apple Passbook for Free Flights

Anthony Hariton, a computer science student at the University of Crete, plans to present his findings at next month's Hack in the Box Security Conference (HITBSecConf) 2014 in Amsterdam. His presentation, entitled "Exploiting Passbook to Fly for Free," will theoretically tell users how to generate fake boarding passes using only a computer and an iPhone. Passbook is an iOS app that lets you scan in everyday items such as movie tickets, gift cards and boarding passes so that you don't have to deal with paper or plastic when out and about.
