<p>After Facebook (https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/30/facebook-research/) and Google (https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/31/apple-developer-certificate-google/) had their Enterprise Certificates revoked by Apple (https://9to5mac.com/2019/01/30/facebook-negotiating-with-apple-to-restore-enterprise-apps-after-abuse-google-accused-of-using-similar-tactics-to-collect-user-data/), a new investigation by TechCrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2019/02/12/apple-porn-gambling-apps/) has revealed more companies exploiting the program for uses outside of the terms and conditions. Specifically, TC verified over two dozen gambling and porn apps that use the Enterprise Certificates to distribute their apps to non-employees, with thousands more likely doing the same. The publication also discovered just how easy it is to gain access to an Enterprise Certificate.</p>
