Student Hacks Apple Passbook App to Get Free Flight Boarding Passes

An 18 year-old computer science student at the University of Crete in Greece claims he has found a way to fetch free flight tickets across Europe by generating fake boarding passes designed for Apple’s Passbook app. Anthony Hariton will give his presentation entitled “Exploiting Passbook to Fly for Free,” in a hacking conference next month. The student will theoretically demonstrate on how to generate fake. boarding passes using only a computer and an iPhone, then get through all the Security Airport checks and then eventually ending up on your first class seat.
