News site found it .... Seems to be the guy who did it and not a spoof etc.
Bit rubbish that 'he' shows dev's details on the video ...
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

It's interesting to see no major redesign happens, *until* its too late.
Isn't that usually how it works.. ??
damage already done...
maybe Apple should have done a re-design sooner, since the only reason for one would be if they thought their current one was in-secure...
Well.. It was... Maybe Apple should have do e it sooner

Unlike Ubisoft, who was the last company I read about being hacked, at least Apple is confessing that their security was flawed and are letting us know they are taking steps to prevent it from happening in the future. Meanwhile, somewhere out in the wild some idiot has the password to my luggage.
I'm not sure I've ever seen objective journalism - truly objective - as everyone (hopefully) has an opinion and it's difficult (if not impossible) to keep that opinion out. That said, totally agree on critical thinking! Let's see more of it.
Or, it could be, like a roof that begins to leak, you can't see the hole until the water starts dripping through. Isn't that when you know you need to fix the roof.
He maybe innocent but he should have give Apple a chance to response to the issues before proceeding and 'hacked' the site.
Hope he is going to be OK.
Nice thought, but apparently he was able to pull down 100,000+ accounts without trying hard... and Apple had no idea (or did nothing about it) until he wrote them about doing so.
And if he did it, who knows how many others did before him.
Oh, how could I forget!
Half the crap reviews on the App Store are "crap app. Won't run on iOS 7. Waste of my bandwidth. Zero stars!!"
I guess I'm still dismayed at the stupidity of the masses.
If the majority of the masses were actually intellectually capable of correctly using the words "bandwidth" and "compatibility", and downloading beta OSes, I would be thrilled to tears. Truly.

My understanding is that you cannot brute-force 128-bit or greater encryption (40-bit would be doable, I suppose), the only way to get through is exploits in the algorithms.
Hacker, researcher, whatever ... he's still a moron. No one conducts reaserch like that and then posts videos with retarded music on youtube to "explain" things.
All beta accounts are connected to a developer account. The company you bought access through owns the dev account, you just bought access to it. So if there is a problem with beta 4 for the developers, then yes, you will have a problem as well.
Uh, so grandma will wade through code-level detail to find the part at the bottom about how she needs to install Saurik's tools then install the patch?
Or, more likely, grandma will receive a text message saying, "Hey click here for a new cookie recipe", she does, and her phone becomes a zombie.
Yeah, it's TOTALLY fixed. My bad.
Aside from having nothing to do with this issue, all hardware will have possible issues. Particularly when there is other, possibly non Apple, hardware in the mix
Never said otherwise. Just that the headlines are saying Apple confirmed they were broken into and they never said such a thing. The headlines were FUD'd up to get more hits.

Apple attacked by a simple SQL injection !!!inserting server code to return SQL data in strings.l
we did that in the bachelor
Yep. As then likely turned around and tried to phish developers to get their passwords.
That sounds like a good point, until you realize those holes in the roof could be exploited by someone to get at your credit card number. I doubt anyone would be so understanding about security issues when it leads to some random hacker pulling money out of their bank account to hire a bunch of cross eyed Taiwanese prostitutes so they can dig a bunch of inground swimming pools out in the suburbs.
When it comes to situations like that, good security isn't waiting for it to rain so you know where the problems lie. It's figuring out a way to find the holes before it starts getting cloudy.
Ha! No ****. As a diabetic since 12, in excellent health I may ad
, the amount of money made off my life is in the millions; insulin, test strips, glucose blood monitors, syringes, labs - that **** ain't cheap, without insurance I'd be screwed.
Looks like there is a new update from Apple: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1613969/
The new message seems to be up on the dev center web site at http://devimages.apple.com/maintenance/
