I hear this sort of thing all the time. This is the unfortunate reality for far too many Americans. Our cycling infrastructure… isn’t awesome.

Apple vs. Corellium Unredacted version of Corellium’s legal answer is public https://t.co/JXoyk6yI8F This entire lawsuit is an obvious attempt to decreases the value of Corellium to either 1) own them, or 2) put them out of business to prevent researchers from finding bugs
