The Worlds "deadliest hackers" Can't Crack Airtel's iPhone 3g

In the shadow of India's recent iPhone release with insane prices one of the two carriers in India has made a claim. According to Airtel "even the most deadly hackers on the planet won't be able to crack the codes that support the iPhone's Airtel applications with rival company SIMs."

Airtel supposedly worked with Apple to make carrier specific iPhone applications for their iPhones. Apparently they are pretty proud of their work and think that no one will figure out how to use their applications on other networks. What do you think?

I never thought hackers are 'deadly' :P
Btw, the claims are ok for the time being as 3G baseband is not unlocked yet using software solutions. But it's only a matter of time..

Airtel is a network in my country and I ensure that they are just trying to scare ya all. There are really good hackers which can do anything and everything like George Hotz and DevTeam!

aw reeko beat me to the titanic quote. Was gonna mention their quote sounds a little like the infamous "Even God can't sink this ship". Way to attract a LOT of negative attention to yourselves, and open yourselves up to look like idiots guys!

a real hacker lives for things that are "impossible" to hack. it is the whole foundation of hacking.
