Researcher Says His Pentesting Triggered Apple’s Hack Announcement

Apple has published a statement claiming that an intruder attempted to steal the details of registered developers from the company’s developer website. However, it turns out that the attacker wasn’t a cybercriminal, but a security researcher.

Shortly after Apple made the announcement, security expert Ibrahim Balic published a video showing that he has gained access to the details of over 100,000 users by exploiting a vulnerability in the Cupertino company’s systems.
