- colanderman 9y agoRead the whole thread… (The title was changed and now the context is confusing.)
- needcaffeine 9y agoOh I did.
- colanderman 9y agoIn fact I did not until I saw your comment and read the thread hoping someone posted the same joke in the thread itself. The realization was painful.

- dentemple 9y agoThe user should've properly disclosed his troubleshooting tips with Apple first. EDIT: /s
- BoorishBears 9y agoThe post doesn't read like the user thought the tips constituted any type of security issue. They might have thought it was expected, but not well known, behavior.
- needcaffeine 9y agoIt's really frightening knowing that this was probably well known to other players for months. High Sierra went gold on September 25. Beta 1 came out in June, I think.
- dentemple 9y agoYeah, as another person pointed out in this thread, this post really puts a kink in the whole "proper security channels" argument. The macOS vulnerability was apparently a known thing, POSTED VISIBLY on Apple's own forums, and it reads as if the user got this "helpful tip" from somewhere else. This is pretty nuts.
- sschueller 9y agoApple needs to fix their bounty program first. The blame goes to Apple, no one else. Stop shooting messagers. What kind of society do we live in where people disclosing wrong doings and crimes are the ones going to jail while the others get away with it.
- simion314 9y agoWhat if the user has no idea that this is a bug and it was not a feature? In the other thread tons of fanboys attacked the guy that shared this on twitter, turns out now that the issue was already known so at least now people that administrate Mac machines can take action and apply the workarounds.
