 Apple plugging Apple TV holes

Kinda interesting things happened with Apple TV last week, many enthusiast were able to do things with it that weren’t suppose to be possible. But now many people have reports that the previously possible SSH and VNC access, is no longer accessible. Looks like Apple’s is fighting back by somehow remotely plugging the holes of the Apple TV’s and fixing them, but Apple has gone a little to far, updating the TV without user’s knowledge. Fellows at Tutorial Ninjas have a nice guide on how to hack Apple TV. They’d also put up a post claiming that Apple used Apple TV’s live Internet connection to get inside and detect hacks and in turn shutting them down. They only had got a handful of confirmations, that means Apple’s fighting back. So its better of you either don’t do anything with it or just pull the plug from your internet connection. But its still real hazy on whether the Apple TV have been hack or not.
