Apple denies an AppleTV Backdoor

April 6, 2007   0 Comments
With hacks by the dozen being release almost on a daily basis, and more drama then a soap opera, the AppleTV has been uncloaked as a MacNano of sorts. However recently, hackers have discovered their newly installed code disappearing overnight. Claims were the Apple Toothfairy came in and robbed them of their precious code.

The boys over at EnGadget contacted Apple regarding this Backdoor; which they received a word from Apple that all of these claims are false. Apple does not have a back door into your machine, and their policy is, you buy the box, you own the box. Just be mindful of that warranty.

A few other devices out there will reset themselves if tampered with. AppleTV may just be 'fixing' the parts of the OS that they see as 'damaged'.
