That is Arlen you are replying to, Jörg.

Whom did the customer purchase the vehicle from, Ford or Firestone?
The answer is Ford. So this is purely a Ford ecosystem problem.

To wit, this huge security hole is purely an Apple ecosystem problem.

What kind of ecosystem is so primitive that ANYONE ON THE PLANET could
modify any of three million iOS/macOS apps at will - whenever they want?

For ten years!

If Apple did NOT tout that their ecosystem provided safety and security, we
could let Apple off the hook for never bothering to test that claim.

As it is, it's clear that the one thing the primitive Apple ecosystem does
NOT provide, is safety & security.

I wonder if these zealots realize ANYONE ON THE PLANET FOR TEN YEARS could
inject ANY CODE THEY WANTED TO INJECT into over three million iOS/mac apps.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
