The security researchers are the ones flagging this serious issue       b. It's only with the Apple WPS database (not with the Google WPS db)       c. That's because Apple allows millions of BSSIDs to be collected in days              Another point I'd like to make is that the Apple trolls do not UNDERSTAND       what you and the security researchers (and I) understand (see above).              The Apple trolls are spending all our valuable time with lame excuses       attempting to defend Apple's insecure WPS database to the death, no matter       what.              Chris, for example, just claimed I'd never write the code to track people.       And yet, I already wrote it. I posted it on the weekend. So it's there.               From: Marian |
