His credibility as a 'security research' is seriously damaged in my opinion for two reasons:

1. He unnecessarily downloaded so many records

2. He made a YouTube video to brag, showing off names and emails in the process.




I don't think it was for bragging but more trying to cover his ass. But I might even be wrong.


True with his final statement in the video that's what it sounds like he was trying to do. But if he just found the flaw, reported to Apple and did nothing remotely nefarious he shouldn't have felt the need to do the video. It seems to me he knows he shouldn't have downloaded so many records and it trying to backtrack to cover himself.
