> Twitter suggests that "Cher Scarlett" is located in Seattle. (This would make them a remote worker for Apple).

Apple has a large in-person engineering office in Seattle, which is easy to determine from a Google search for 'apple seattle engineering':

I'm not sure I understand the rest of your argument. You think this person a) doesn't exist b) doesn't work for Apple c) does exist and works for Apple remotely, because there is no Seattle office d) works for Apple in the critical path for security reports and bug bounties, and is therefore why Apple is (allegedly) not responding to them because she's spending all her day tweeting e) works for Apple in an unknown capacity, which you cannot figure out f) tweets too much g) doesn't tweet enough about a specific security "mindset," which all people in a security role have?

This "technical analysis" doesn't seem to hold up, and I don't see any particular reason to suspect this person doesn't exist. I suspect the journalist's due diligence was more sound.

I appreciate your response. I retract everything I said. It was a very poorly thought out comment.
