‏@matthew_d_green Did Apple seriously just reveal a fundamental bug in their SSL certificate validation at 5pm on a Friday? I'll shut up about this soon...

@matthew_d_green So at this moment it may be possible to eavesdrop/inject data into secure connections made by like 99% of the iOS devices in the world?

‏@matthew_d_green Ok, I know what the Apple bug is. And it is bad. Really bad.

@matthew_d_green I'm not going to talk details about the Apple bug except to say the following. It is seriously exploitable and not yet under control.
