Apple bans security researcher Charlie Miller from its developer program. Miller created an apparently benign iOS app that was actually designed to exploit a security flaw he had uncovered. He created a proof-of-concept application to demonstrate the security flaw and how it could be exploited by malicious code. Miller, a former National Security Agency staffer, is a well-known “white hat” hacker with expertise in Apple’s Mac OS X and iOS platforms, including the Safari browser, and in Android. Miller: “I’m mad. I report bugs to them all the time. Being part of the developer program helps me do that””]
