Is this a hoax? I note that the article text has several of the hallmarks of LLM-generated text; em-dashes, not-just-this-but-that, short bullet point lists, random text bolding...

I noticed that, too, but I thought perhaps the write-up was simply "LLM-assisted".
I came across this while debugging the "Malformed anchor records, not an array" log message on iOS 18.6.2 and seeing weird behavior: some parts of the system suddenly rejecting certificates with an anchor error (the MDM layer) while other parts accepted them just fine (Safari). So that's n=2 for something being wrong with the trust system in recent iOS versions.

Both of these submissions are [flagged]. I suspect that OP takes iPhone device logs and feeds the to an LLM to come up with security issues.

Thanks for doing the digging. Unfortunately HN doesn't let you retract submissions, otherwise I would.
