Comment Apple weak (Score 1) 73
Of course this article is over the top -- bugs will be worth more on the open market.
However it is worth discussing. Apple does offer you something: acknowledgement on their website and a swift resolution of the problem. I have submitted a bug to Apple under this program that was acknowledged but have found that they leave much to be desired in this process.
Replies from Apple on each email take about 30 days. No status reports are provided unless you ask. No details are provided whatsoever on the fix (from an academic perspective). For this first time I am following this process solely to see if it will work and so I may document for the public. However in the future I will be following my standard ethics / best practice with Apple just like every other company: "here's your vuln, I'm publishing in two weeks, please link to my blog when you announce this, call me if you need help or more time."
