Motherboard:

On Sunday, a security researcher who focuses on iOS and goes by the name Siguza posted a tweet containing what appears to be an encryption key that could be used to reverse engineer the Secure Enclave Processor, the part of the iPhone that handles data encryption and stores other sensitive data.

And:

Two days later, a law firm that has worked for Apple in the past sent a DMCA Takedown Notice to Twitter, asking for the tweet to be removed.

And:

Apple confirmed that it sent the original DMCA takedown request. The company said that it retracted the request but Twitter had already complied with it and had taken the tweet down. Apple then asked Twitter to put the tweet back online.

Interesting. Here’s the original tweet. Apparently, this is a firmware decryption key specific to an iPhone XR running iOS 13.4 beta 4. Not sure the value of this tweet, but clearly it got Apple’s attention.

Why do this? Is this the path to jailbreaking iOS 13? The fact that Apple backed off, asked for the tweet to be restored, makes it seem like there’s no real issue here. Much ado about nothing?
