[DS Notes] Security Researcher May Have Been Reason for Apple Developer Center Shutdown

The Next Web reports that a security researcher contacted Apple about vulnerabilities that he discovered on Apple’s system. and Apple may have taken that warning as an intrusion with possible malicious intent. The researcher, Ibrahim Balic, claims otherwise. The researcher is “a bit irritated” at the tone that Apple has taken with regards to this incident along with the media coverage. He insisted that he had reported all the bugs to Apple to inform the company of his discoveries and has no intention to keep the data that he has collected for evidence of the bugs. Balic has yet to hear anything back from Apple and asked that he be not blacklisted by the company.
