Did you read this at the 2nd link?

On my site, I list several vulnerabilities I've found and reported to Apple and I've found them to be very responsive and upfront about verifying things and giving credit. Some things are fixed quicker than others and maybe you can say they take too long on some things but when there are interdependencies on components being fixed, it can be a month of two before you see a patch.

They do tend to be a little quiet when dealing with researchers. They'll communicate on an as-needed basis and if you don't provide adequate information, maybe they'll follow up and ask for more. When I report bugs to Apple, I send full details including an exploit. They've been very good about pinpointing the issue and providing a fix.

I had an issue once where their engineers had trouble reproducing a vulnerability and I had to send more information and an actual exploit. After that, they found it and fixed it. I've always received appropriate credit.

I WAS TALKING ABOUT DAVE MAYNOR.

Apple didn’t act that way towards him.

There are plenty of Apple sploits out there. I provided a bunch of links.

If you want to keep changing the subject, do it with someone else.
