Umm #ChipShortage feels like it’s getting WORSE not better 😂 companies are panic buying many popular items on Mouser/Digi-Key...

Should we turn to unsafe supply-chain sourcing?

“... Expected 17/8/2023!”

Hint: good time to open a semi fab 😂!
For those who don’t understand the shortage, open up one of your least favorite smart devices, find the parts on mouser.com and see if it’s out of stock, or “On-Order”, etc.
Also, it should considered a national security risk, by all governments. Desperate companies will turn to shady markets for parts, inducing unneeded supply chain risk. Would be a great time to subsidize some home turf fabs, instead of relying on a handful.

#SinglePointOfFailure
Lastly, the chip shortage is severely impacting innovation, in every industry. Products are delayed. Electric cars are delayed. Products are shipping sans parts. Inventions are delayed. People need state-of-the-art parts, state-of-the-art chips & state-of-the-art manufacturing!

Apple was supposed to be in our @DEFCON talk.

We sent them the vulnerability 4 months ago. They contacted us before the talk assuring us that we wouldn’t mention them, and we said, “sure because it’s not fixed yet.”

The vulnerability was discovered using a virtualized MacOS
This is weird because the SRD is only for iPhones.

@Apple will you release a security research device for the desktop?

Does the Mac security not matter as much as iOS?

I used a jailbroken iPhone to verify and then on old OS via @CorelliumHQ.

Leave Corellium alone #safeharbor
Apple takes security researchers for granted. Every single CVE is discovered on non-SRD devices.

I don’t think NSO Group was in the SRD program 😂

I used my own security research tool, along with 130,000 others:

MacStadium is controlled by @SummitPartners who also own jamf.

They virtualize macOS.

There is an iOS simulator in @MacStadium.

They are literally controlled by the same company, “a continued relationship with @Apple.”

Apple wants @CorelliumHQ because they want control 🥴
Have a bigger write up coming. How Apple turns a blind eye, how their research device is bogus and potentially discriminates disadvantaged researchers from ever participating in their bug bounty.

They want @CorelliumHQ so bad because.

We sent Apple a bug 4 months ago 🐌🥱⏱
MacStadium:

"iOS simulator testing

Mobile app testing uses a combination of local devices, real device clouds, and iOS simulators (which need to run on macOS instances)."

Weird that they only want @CorelliumHQ...

FYI: @SAP does NOT have a public bug bounty program and this weird blog post is just to solicit free research. They don’t pay.

If your BBP is private then why tf are you boasting about it on your blog 😂?
I got scammed into submitting research into their public program. Told them next time I’ll submit then through @thezdi instead.
