When I saw the headline, I assumed it was a situation where someone had emailed the wrong address or only tried to contact them via Twitter. But upon reading the article I see this is a high-quality report. She was sounding alarms and emailing all the right people. It's is insane that Apple missed this.
I think at this point, we need Tim Cook to write an apology piece about how they screwed up, how this won't happen again, and who got fired.

- jdavis703 8y agoRight, I don’t want something in the software which is what happens today. I want a hardware indicator, that should in theory be harder to break or hack (and should make this kind of bug more obvious to a QA team and the general public).
