A proof of concept program has been developed that can successfully download and crack any application from the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace, according to a WPCentral report.

A "white hat" developer has provided WPCentral with a proof-of-concept program that can successfully pull any application from the Marketplace, remove the security and deploy to an unlocked Windows Phone with literally a push of a button.

It is important to note that this was all done within six hours by one developer.
