So the guy is a hero. Thanks for disturbing real life businesses for several days, I guess?

This behavior is endemic for the self-righteous security "researcher" scene. "I found a bug - you must do what I say, NOW, or else ..."
It's not like Apple would have ignored his bug reports if he wouldn't have scraped 100k developer accounts.
- ZoF 13y agoHe says he reported the bug previously and got no response... So, it's very much "like Apple would have ignored his bug reports..."
- agent123 13y agoWhat he leaves out is that he waited less than a day for a response. (You can see this from the radar shown in his video)
- jasallen 13y ago"This behavior is endemic for the self-righteous security 'researcher' scene" Yes, and that behavior is moving us to a world where corporations have to be careful what they put out, not just rush the newest shiny feature out faster. Besides, who do you want exploiting the bug, a self-righteous guy who 'may' be in it for his own glory, or an out-and-out criminal?
