  • If that is in fact how this works (I haven’t dug in too far) then technically yes. The problem is, these are one off zero days. You can’t exactly test that this problem exists unless you know it exists, and if you know it exists then Apple knows it exists (in the case of a mainstream antivirus app at least) so there’s no point in actually attempting to exploit it, just throw in a check for vulnerable versions.

    There’s no one size fits all “all pdf exploits that ever will exist” solution because there are exploits that will likely not exist for a time.











  • You realize companies have and do fire people for actions in their personal lives, right? Especially in the US where virtually everyone works “at will” and having signed a piece of paper stating they would not hurt the reputation of the company or face termination? Other countries and contracts have similar clauses. Sweden is one such country, where there is a process involved but it is still very much a thing.

    So why is it when an individual high up in the company, someone with decision power and who directly benefits from sales, does something that hurts the public perception, suddenly you’re asking us to just ignore it?

    Why is it that your accusation of astroturfing sounds suspiciously like… well, astroturfing.
