Amazon’s Kindle Gets Hacked

An Israeli hacker going by the alias “Labba” has become to first person to hack the DRM on Amazon’s highly successful e-reader.

The hack will allow users to transfer .pdf files onto other devices, thereby ignoring the copyrights held by the content providers. Good news for consumers, darn right annoying for Amazon.

No doubt Amazon will be working on a software update to solve the problem, although if history has taught us anything its that another hack won’t be too far away.
