I read this article with a healthy amount of scepticism and read two separate stories: 1. This guy was targeted by spyware. 2. This guy was an iOS 0-day exploit developer and is involved with a bit of drama with his previous employer. Everyone seems eager (including himself) on connecting the two, but why would the ex-employer go after him using illegal methods when they've agreed to a settlement and termination? Unless there's more to the story (which I strongly doubt) it seems to be combined mix of legitimate but misplaced paranoia and lashing out.
