You make some very good and interesting points, though I think it's wrong to just presume Apple is lax on security based from that one sentence.

- BrandonM 15y agoI agree. My main intention was to inform would-be copy-cats that they shouldn't play fast and loose with copies of their live database. I'm sure (or at least, I hope) that Apple is smarter about sensitive data than that.
- JoeMoreno 15y agoI have to second BrandomM's comments. Don't make a complete copy of your live database to use in dev. Sensitive data needs to be scrubbed, ideally by a bona fide DBA, before bringing it over. Best to avoid this if at all possible so you don't have to worry about overlooking something that was sensitive. Also, I don't recall ever seeing any security issues with our environment or how we handled the code and data. There were some very smart engineers "minding the store."
