   The way they worded it can be interpreted to mean that it is still a possibility that the Find My iPhone bug was involved. And anyway, I'm still wondering if it was exploited in this celeb pic scandal or other breaches we haven't

   I'm still wondering if the Find My iPhone brute force bug was exploited. Why doesn't Apple at least offer a bug bounty reward? Is it irresponsible that they don't? All they offer now, as far as I have found, is a mention on t

    No, root can still run chmod, because its superuser privileges override the new restrictive directory perms. That was my point. Maybe the original problem was actually "chmod a-rwx /bin/chmod" ... That would mean even th
