Apple says it removed a seller from its online applications store after he gamed the store’s sales ranking system. Apple says the hack was carried about by a developer named Thuat Nguyen. The company did not provide details about how Nguyen managed to rig its sales data. Some observers are speculating that he merely manipulated sales figures. Some believe Nguyen may have actually gained access to App Store user accounts to make unauthorized purchases. Apple insists App Store or iTunes users’ information is not at risk as a result of the incident.”]
