Report Offensive Message

reports indicate that he first notified Apple who did nothing
It may be that there is a more complete report that I'm not aware of but everything I've read so far indicates that Apple was notified of the bug prior to it being publicly reported. (two weeks prior I believe; pleanty of time to confirm the bug and at minimum, repond to the security researcher.)

correction; I thought I'd bring back some links but to correct my two posts from today, it's not clear if he notified Apple before disclosure or not. Speculation is that he did based on being a professional researcher but that's currently just speculation. if he did indeed sit on it giving Apple no notice then there is much crow to be had on both side of it.
