With the removal of several apps from the App Store in the past few days, many are wondering if Apple is truly checking out these apps before authorizing them. But even more importantly, do they have a system in place to protect iPhone users from malicious apps? It looks like the answer is yes.
It seems there is a URL the iPhone refers to every once in awhile to check and see if any apps have been “blacklisted”:
This will not just remove malicious apps from the App Store. It will also disable apps you’ve bought and downloaded already. This seems to be a last resort sort of function that will be reserved for only the most dire cases.

I should take about 2 months for a hacker to figure out how *HE* can also deactivate your iphone apps. If 1 person can do it… why not another?
That’s why smart programmers NEVER put such a back-door in their code.
If 1 person can use that method… why can’t another user?
who i can get the blacklist app for Iphone??
