Apple iTunes Security Flaw

After reading this article, I have to wonder if it really was a flaw or a purposely made backdoor.

Nice post LoGiCaL__.
On average Apple takes just 91 days to fix security flaws after they are disclosed, Mr Krebs wrote.

Francisco Amato, the Argentinian security researcher who warned Apple about the problem suggested that "maybe they forgot about it, or it was just on the bottom of their to-do list".


Seems very suspicious that such a 'flaw' took 3 years to finally patch.
