Paid bounties. Device program. Early access. How is Apple not "playing ball" here? Isn't that exactly what researchers asked for?

Apple has safeguards to avoid selling exploits to criminals that attack Apple's own customers. Good. I wouldn't want Apple to "play ball" like that.

Have you ignored all the conversation about the standard security industry 90 day disclosure period which the entire community is built on but apple refuses to use?

Why? If no one signs up then no one signs up. The people that do sign up play by those rules. No one is forcing them to apply to this program.

The program says they can’t disclose until it’s fixed.

How is that not playing ball?

This manufactured outrage is getting ridiculous.
