Apple security expert finds apps-software bug | Reuters

  1. Security researcher discovers security flaw in iOS browser code
  2. Researcher doesn’t bother with due diligence or reporting the flaw to Apple, like most “researchers” do when they find flaws with other browsers and apps (he reported it about a month after he got his app approved and available in the store)
  3. Researcher creates app that exploits the flaw to steal user data, releases it in App Store, supplies Reuters with incendiary rhetoric
  4. Researcher gets booted from the App Store Developer Program
  5. Everyone acts surprised
  6. Security research and journalism industries develop a drinking problem together, and no one bothers to stop them from descending into alcoholism

flattr this!
