Security Researcher Accused of $2.5 Million Fraud Against Apple

Despite his recent arrest, Apple acknowledged the researcher's past contributions to identifying system vulnerabilities.

Security researcher Noah Roskin-Frazee and a co-defendant are charged with defrauding Apple of $2.5 million in gift cards and electronics.
The scheme involved using a password reset tool to access Apple's systems and altering orders to add products and gift cards at no cost.
Despite his arrest, Apple thanked Roskin-Frazee in a security update for identifying vulnerabilities in its products.
The fraud, which started in December 2018 and continued until at least March 2019, exploited a system known as Toolbox.
The incident has raised questions about the misuse of insider knowledge and the need for stringent security measures.
