    Yawn snooze. Nothing to see here. Hackers complaining their exploit got blocked.

    I feel like if they initially didn’t try to force people to pay a subscription for a free service, Apple wouldn’t have closed the issue.

    That being said, they fixed what was inarguably an exploit that could have led to scammers using Bluestacks to run iMessage spam campaigns. (These exist now, but would be amplified)

    I just fine it odd that people are unhappy with Apple. Beeper was spoofing Apple’s servers to make it look like an iMac was requesting the ping. Apple isn’t a charity they do not have to allow unauthorised third party access. I would hope none of us would allow unauthorised access to our servers.
