Does anyone know how trustworthy this objective-see project is?
I remember once installing several of his apps, but then coming to the conclusion that i don't know enough - even though he consistently seems to find and fix flaws in OSX.
Why isn't Apple hiring this man?
EDIT: Why are people downvoting this question? If i'm implying something then i'm unaware of it.

- ghughes 6y agoThe tools are legit, and the bugs are real, but he has a distasteful habit of feeding sensationalist quotes to outlets like Forbes and Vice. This time, he told Forbes that "the hacks effectively take Mac security back a decade" [1], and Vice quotes him as saying "this is likely the worst or potentially the most impactful bug to everyday macOS users in recent memory". [2] Forbes ran the story with the headline "The ‘Worst Hack In Years’ Hits Apple Computers", and that's bullshit. 1. https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2021/04/26/update-your-mac-now-the-worst-hack-in-years-hits-apple-computers/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2021/04/26/updat... 2. https://www.vice.com/en/article/wx5855/massive-mac-apple-security-bug-malware-hack https://www.vice.com/en/article/wx5855/massive-mac-apple-sec...
