iPhone exploit legal fight is really about who owns security research

A federal judge has ordered a public iPhone exploit taken offline after Magnet Forensics argued it wasn't independent security research at all, but instead a stolen trade secret. District Judge Victoria Marie Calvert partially approved Magnet's request for a preliminary injunction . She directed Paradigm Shift and former Magnet exploit engineer Mario Del Gaudio to delete the usbliter8 article, code, technical details, and related materials in their possession by 11:59 p.m.
