FULL STORY ======================================================================

Apple has once again revived its legal battle with security company
Corellium , days after settling with the cybersecurity firm over its lawsuit.

At the center of the suit is a virtualized environment created by Correlium that enables security researchers to hunt for bugs, instead of jailbreaking
an actual iPhone .

In December 2020 a judge dismissed Apples claims that alleged Corelliums virtualized environment infringed its copyright. Here are some of the best business Macs These are the best business computers currently available And, here's our list of the best business laptops

According to Cyberscoop , Apple has now filed an appeal challenging the December dismissal, drawing criticism from security researchers. Deal or no deal?

Last week, the Washington Post reported that the two companies had reached a settlement as far as Corellium circumventing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to create its software environment was concerned.

Many thought that it was a sign that Apple was dropping its lawsuit against Corellium. However, Apple has now dispelled these doubts through its notice
of appeal for copyright infringement, much to the chagrin of ethical hackers.

It raises the specter that all sorts of security research activity could be vulnerable to copyright infringement claims. Its incredibly chilling that Apple is pursuing this, Blake Reid, a professor at University of Colorados
law school told Cyberscoop .

Apples move comes even as it vowed to work with members of the security establishment to help lend legitimacy to its controversial new child-abuse image scanning function. Interestingly, Corellium has announced a $5000 initiative to probe Apples new system. Need something more portable? Check
