> I don't think there is any way to be safe from this

Apple could certainly do a lot more to protect their customers, and we generally let Apple off far too lightly here. For starters: using their enormous revenues to bid up the prices for these cracks. Writing better software, eg using well-known techniques to harden imessage. etc.




Also they could treat their employees better so there’s less churn. Every newly-hired kernel engineer is bound to repeat the same technical mistakes that their predecessor made a decade ago.


Might be a business model for a Kernel engineer:

* Go work for Apple

* Learn vulnerabilities

* Resign

* Sell vulnerabilities for cash on the dark market
